in the world. This page contains everyone who's anyone with a last name
beginning in the letter G.
Steve
Gadd
Video Clips of Steve Gadd playing at ADAA Honoring of Steve Gadd:
Born: April 9, 1945. Stan Mulder's Steve Gadd Page contains bio, interview,
photos, equipment set-up, and discography. Transcriptions of some of
Gadd's fills in MP3 and Midi too, although I haven't heard these yet.
Also, a couple of links were broken when I checked it out.

This drummer/producer has worked with Antonio Hart, J.T.Taylor of Kool
and the Gang, Marc Cary, Greg Osby, Steve Coleman, Lonnie Liston Smith,
and many others. This is her own Official Web site.
David
Garibaldi
Born: November 4, 1946. What's the funkiest band of all time? I'd say
Tower of Power. And drummer Garibaldi ranks right up there with the funkiest
drummers of all time. Enjoy this abbreviated bio, selected discography,
and list of instructional books and videos he has authored. Compliments
of Evans drumheads. You'll also dig this interview
with David, from phatdrumloops.com.

X at his own site (through the link above) and at the Official King's
X site. You'll also find lots of info at KingsX.net,

was a multi-faceted percussionist who worked in the pit orchestra of Radio
City Music Hall for many years. One of the greatest snare drummers who
ever lived, many famous drummers studied technique with him in the 1940's
and 50's. Courtesy drumcenter.com.

with the Baltimore Symphony, Boston Symphony, Cleveland Symphony, Detroit
Symphony, National Symphony (Washington), Los Angeles Philharmonic, New
York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Symphony, St Louis Symphony and Toronto
Symphony orchestras. She also records exclusively for the RCA/BMG label.
All the more remarkable since Evelyn is deaf, and plays by feeling the
music through vibrations rather than hearing it. Learn all about her and
see her video interview, courtesy of GetMusic.com.

also finds time to work with his own quartet. Check out audio clips and more

Stone in 1985, courtesy of the University of Oregon Web site. Here's a
partial discography
on Jim, from ArtistDirect.com and an alternate discography,
from Warr.Org. Also, some recollections
by some of those who knew Jim Gordon.
Danny
Gottlieb
I knew Danny pre-Pat Metheny. We both studied with Joe Morello at the
same time. He's a good friend, a great musician, and one of the nicest
guys in the business. Click his name above for Danny's Official Web site.
Also, check out his bio at
Excite.com, an interview
with Dan by MikeBrannon, from JazzReview.com, and more info
