I'd mentioned Steve Gadd quite a while ago, he's one of our home boys here in Rochester NY. Back in the early 70s I was taking piano lessons at Hochstein Music school in Rochester, and Steve was giving drum lessons at the school. I would always stand near his drum room and listen while I was waiting for my lessons. I believe he was an Eastman Student at the time but even back then he was phenominal.
