Something about this video, this combination of musicians, has captivated me. I am very fortunate to have stumbled upon this clip. It is a pleasure to watch, to listen, to feel. I saved it into my favorites because it's a keeper. :O) thanks for posting.

Yes there is a unity, a connection here. mmmHmmmm like a ball of light. SWEET and WARM and comfortable.

Love to see Steve swinging! He always colors and moves the music. Technique in the service of MUSIC!! BRAVO!!!!!!

awesome! and i love the camera work!!!

thanks for posting this great live document. unfortunatly missed that trio, when they were playing my home town.

I love how Steve always has a cowbell groove in the intense part of his solos!

Beautiful thanks for this. Just saw Steve at Ronnie Scotts in London. Still on top form.

Heard this trio live in Frankfurt in the same year and enjoyed the magic. Steve Gadd unbelievable groovy and a master with brushes. RIP Michel Petrucciani.

Love this trio and performance. Gadd created an another train in the A train.

Michel was also a damn fine percussionist.

this is in my top 3 all time favourite drum solos. it has absolutely everything... thanks for uploading!

I've never heard of this piano player until now. He's great! It's cool to see how he proves that small people really can play :D

Awsome! Nice concotion of three genius...gadd alway insipried and inspiring for every drummer, beginner or professional...

porn for my ears! luv gadd, i saw him live a few years ago, he came and performed at a colledge not far from my house . It was beautiful! so simple yet so powerful, long live gadd!

You are the best Steve. You gave me drum lessons when we were in high school. I went to Leroy high.

Man i love Anthony Jackson, love the ultra low notes on the 6 string!!

Michel Petrucciani... the Chick Webb of piano! This was so smooth and grooving at the same time! Excellent!

Viva Michel Petrucciani! Viva Italia! Bravo!! Bravissimo I`like you Katalina *Szkoda,że nie ma Cię już wśród nas

Antony Jackson is the man !!!!

Absolutely the most inspiring thing I've seen in a long. long time!

well said. anthony is a class for himself. you cant doubt his skill but you can dislike his style.

LOL. I love the "dirty-rocker" sound on Anthony's bass playing. A "rythmical interesting-low registered" interpretation of a "classy jazz standard". Thanks! ;D

wicked drum solo :D hehe. This is such a cool song, why do i not remember hearing it before!

Unlike commercial music, in the jazz world you don't need to be good looking to succed. It's more authentic, it's just music!

absolutely incredible rendition. please post everything from this concert, thanks for sharing. unbelievable~

Como os echamos en falta!

WOW AMAZING! Stunning!

wow, this is amazinggg! love it!

Phenomenal set!

this is such a good song

that was superb fantastic performance

Different, mysterious, absolutely fantastic.

Wonderful!!!

very nice, ty

RIP, msr Michel. We'll miss you...and of course, Gaddzooks. Satzie

pure genius, thanks for posting this video, do you have anymore?

la Grande Classe mondiale!musiciens d'exception !!!!!!!!

amazing.

Unreal! Man! Monsters! Steve Gadd just has the deepest pockets, man... you could park a whole herd of rhinos in them pockets! off the charts! all three of these guys!

Wonderful🇯🇵🌏🙇‍♀️💐

musical perfection!

Steve Gadd, godfather of grooves....what a impact this guy had on drums, and on the dealers wallet.. respect

Brilliant!!!!!!!!

For me, it's the communication/connection between these 3 cats. Listen to the groove; if you ain't communicatin', it ain't happenin'...... Everyone has their opinion about a cat's gear; that's a given. But listen to the MUSIC these gentlemen are performing; that says it all.

It works for me!

Rest in peace little big guy.

Great video The whole band is great What else can I say.

FANTASTIC!!! You see the train coming:-).

just huge !

Ellington is such a wonderful composer...

Insane.

state of the art!

Yes and with his condition he risked breaking his wrist everytime he played piano--A genius and a miracle sadly missed by the jazz world.

Wow.

AJ is killing it! He's really proficient with his contrabass!!

I really like it :), small man hands down !!!

Petruciani is a killer on this train !

gotta love the midget! steve's a beast

UN SOGNO ! ! !

great pianoist

first class

They do.

Wow

Good Gadd!! My Gadd!!

Can anyone imagine to dance on a standard?! For sure if Mr. Gadd is laying down some of his precious drum stuff!!!!

amen brother, and despite the extreme talent, its less about ego.

wheeeeeew! dayum!

Beat that.....class

Amazing. The pianist is off the hook.

Holy crap, why haven't I heard this before?

Infatti, sembra che un ostinato di piano supporti continuamente un assolo di batteria, una sorta di latin-funk come solo steve sa fare, ma anche di basso, mitico Anthony Jackson, che dire...sono tre geni, ma credo che l'ideatore sia proprio Petrucciani. God bless you cmq a chi l'ha postato, un atto di generosità direi...

hard to tell really - that depends on my mood haha but usually its Buddy Rich solo (Holland 78) and again Steve Gadd (Munchen 1992).

its vonderfull trió music!

I like it a hell of a lot better than the old fashion corny version. Right on man

i see where jacky terrasson got a lot of his inspiration. his blackbird version intro is almost identical. also the chop heavy but always tasteful aggressive style. with minimalist stuff thrown in(the one note things) . increable.

Well that's what osteogenesis imperfecta does to you, clever guy/girl, it destroys you. Luckily this guy saw the fact that he almost couldn't move in a way to be an advantage, it got rid of distractions like sports, etc. Petruciani is an inspiration to me, he is dedicated, strong and a passionate pianoplayer.. the Duke would be proud.

Steve Gadd, oui bien sûr, mais aussi Petrucciani, et Anthony Jackson.

gadd should have been sponsored by DW from the moment he started playing the drums..!!

It would be nice to see the bass during the bass solo!

its the stock head on the steve gadd signature snare. its a yamaha head, buts actually made by remo.

@samm1809 I was at this action- AghaRTA Prague Jazz Festival: Steve Gadd & Friends, and this year I am going to visit JACK DEJOHNETTE GROUP at Agharta prague festival...

traditional for me personally is just a more relaxed way to play. and it looks badass

@ajboojay Michel Petrucciani, the pianist, died in 1999.

damn gadd and his triplets lead with the left.

Jezus.

@AZappaFan had a chance to see him in san jose at smith dobson's gig in the mafiosi casino joint (yes, in calif.) didn't know who he was.. tickets cost maybe ten bucks. didnt go. shit. and if i ever think i had an excuse for not practicing, or ANYTHING else for that matter, i only need to look at this guy doing what he's doing. what courage!.

WOW! where can I find this stuff on CD?? SOOO HOT!

Although it is irrelevant because its all crazy good!

and buddy rich, art blakey, max roach, elvin jones, tony williams, peter erskine, jack de johnette... and not so few others

YEAH ..the piano is a percussion instrument!

Si sono batterista :-)

Traditional grip does have some big advantages in certain situations. I don't believe anyone who's looking to play multiple styles should ever limit themselves to one grip. If you want to see a good demonstration of all the grips and such, check out Steve Smith's DVD. (There's A LOT more on there then just grips, but almost that alone makes the DVD worthwhile)

Sorry, I meant to say, "HOLY FUCK!"

Buddy Rich, Gadd, Weckel, Steve Smith, Vinnie, Jo Jo Mayer to name just a few use it. If you combine it with matched it gives you a different feel and approach. You would have to develop both grips and use them to undersand the difference. Traditional grip allows for a unique approach.

Damn! Gadd stealing the show, once again

Omagad ... left hand ...

Now I curious what the other 2 drumsolos are? Perhaps a Joe Morello solo?

Prefer this version - without horns - and sticks instead of brushes. A moment of magic.

does anyone know what notes michel is playing in the left hand?

This is actually Michel Petrucciani's concert fyi
