Steve Gadd: Center Stage

For the first time, super drummer Steve Gadd comes together with his friends from the "Gadd Gang" era, Eddie Gomez and Ronnie Cuber, for a production with the multi-Grammy award-winning WDR Big Band. Under the direction of Michael Abene, a wonderfully groovy album was created, with Steve Gadd and his friends at its center. Bobby Sparks II and Simon Oslender join them as guest musicians. The recordings took place in January and February 2022 in WDR's Studio 4. Classics from the Gadd Gang's repertoire can be found on Center Stage: "I Can't Turn You Loose", "Che Ore So'", "Them Changes", "Way Back Home", "Lucky 13", "Honky Tonk / I Can't Stop Loving You" and "My Little Brother". A perfect mix of grooving songs and an outstanding top-class ensemble around Steve Gadd guarantee the highest entertainment value!
