Steve Gadd Band – Gadditude

Gadditude is a 2013 jazz fusion album by the Steve Gadd Band, featuring a core group of musicians who also formed the touring band for James Taylor. The album is noted for blending genres like soul, jazz, funk, and 1970s fusion, with a focus on collective grooves and feel over individual showmanship. Reviewers praised the album’s relaxed feel, borne from the musicians’ familiarity with each other as James Taylor’s touring band. Critics noted that while Gadd doesn’t deliver extensive solos, his drumming provides the strong rhythmic foundations and grooves that support the music. The band’s ability to convincingly bend genres and incorporate diverse styles, such as a country-infused rendition of Keith Jarrett’s “Country” and a re-imagining of Radiohead’s “Scatterbrain” as a jazz standard, was also highlighted.
