“A luminary, ebullient and eternally youthful” ???The New York Times
The percussive architect behind the unforgettable drum riffs in Paul Simon’s 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover and Steely Dan’s Aja, Gadd first joined forces with Chick in the jazz/rock fusion??band Return to Forever in the mid-1970???s. Since then,??these two have turned out one game-changing record after another. Now, co-leading a band for the first time, they pick up where they left off, this time with young guns filling out the lineup. It???s a coup to bring these venerated maestros to Rhode Island????? find out why: watch Chick and Steve previews on the FirstWorks website.
