Even a decrepit D’Angelo washes the rest away, so let’s compare him against his only real competition; himself:  2000 vs 2012  Neither, Jazz Cafe 1998 does, silly renaissance lovers :P But the best live interpretation of a song goes to the Feel Like...

A synchronous combo of my favourite funk drummer (Steve Gadd) and bassist (Stanley Clarke). They unfortunately didn’t come together on too many Return To Forever projects (Lenny White was a more than ample replacement) but this musical Q&A gives you an inkling into why Chick Corea would choose Steve Gadd for his solo projects, and what separates good jazz drummers from the great - the...
