Rickie Lee Jones – 'Chuck E's In Love'

'Aja' wasn't the only iconic drum track Steve laid down in 1979. He also got behind the kit for jazz pop breakthrough artist Rickie Lee Jones on her hit single 'Chuck E's In Love'. Steve locks into the song's laidback groove throughout, but it's the mid-track breakdown that sets 'Chuck E's In Love' apart from the rest.

Paul Simon – 'Late In The Evening'

'Late In The Evening' sees Steve further his reputation as a drummer not afraid of trying something beyond the norm as he beats out a Mozambique groove with two sticks in each hand, moving between the toms and floor tom rim to create yet another unmistakable Gadd lick and an absolutely irresistible groove.
