James Taylor - Mexico 2009 North Sea Jazz festival in Rotterdam, The Netherlands Band: James Taylor, Arnold McCuller, Andrea Zonn, Kate Markowitz, Larry Goldings, Steve Gadd, Michael Landau, Jimmy Johnson
James Taylor has always played and sang behind the beat. When his first records were released, he had Russ Kunkel on the drums, who purposely drew out the fills to where he barely hit the downbeat on time. It sure seems intentional to me.
Actually, i finally realised that the musicians, including gadd are playing it right, but James kinda slows a bit on that fill and makes it sound a bit odd.
Gadd is definitely not outta time. The part that may sound out of time to you is the triplet he does on beat 4 of the fill before doing the big crash on the 1.
gadd is perfect here...
