ironlips Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) Steve Gadd, legendary recording artist, former Rochester Crusaders snare and member of the World Drum Corps Hall of Fame has been nominated for a 2016 Grammy Award. Steve has performed with everyone from Sinatra to Streisand to Paul Simon, and toured as part of James Taylor's All-Star Band this past summer. We can all celebrate this latest success of our Drum Corps brother.

TomPeashey Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Yup... Frank... deserving indeed... and yes, I marched with him... a few thousand years ago... Last time I saw him was when he showed up at Vince Bruni's wake... I didn't make his birthday concert last year, but my brother got to make a snare drum clock that was presented to him that night...

ironlips Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 I am hoping he wins the Grammy, and I will vote for him. After a career like his, it would be well-deserved. Steve's drumming on "Late in the Evening" is alone worthy of an award, and he's been throwing this stuff down for years, as you know.

TomPeashey Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Yes I know..... been a long time since drum corps days 60-65 with either Ridge Culver Statesmen or Crusaders... and even longer since Disney featured him on the Mickey Mouse Club in the late 50's Once in a while videos of that turn up... he was VERY young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironlips Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 The Grammy Finals Voting has commenced. In a couple of weeks we'll see whether the mayor of Rochester will declare "Steve Gadd Day". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
