Gary has to be one of the best players that it seems "nobody" talks about. What a monster and a great mind!
Thanks for posting that, Rodge.
When in doubt...roll.

When the Yamaha/Sakae split and move happened a lot of pleayers left for Sakae, or, more like only Dave and Steve stayed.

Gary doesn't seem to really want to put his name out in the jazz world. Makes his money with Ramazzotti and takes all the gigs he can locally when at home. As far as I know he has to work a lot to pay for his wife's healthcare bills.

PS : I wonder when that clip has been shot as here he plays a Sakae Trilogy, now he's supposed to be with Gretsch now right ?


It's at Jeff Lorber Studio.

Maybe Gary left his Sakae there...

Man, I start to have drums everywhere !!!
I mean, just in my town and in Paris.
I guess working drummers have drums in LA, NYC and Nashville ?
Maybe not these days, but in the past, when the work was HUGE !!!
I come from Tain, Vinnie, Omar, Jeff, Fish, Stewart, and many more...

IF you’re not hip, Gary is plays so great on the newest David Crosby record, “For Free”. That record has been on steady rotation for me for months. My band actually just recorded “Rodriguez For a Night” just last week. THAT was when I found out it was Gary on that track (and most of the album).
