Title: A cookin' live album, but too bad of Steve Gadd
Product review: This is the best album of Steps, the group founded by Mike Mainieri, with Don Grolnick, Eddie Gomez, Michael Brecker and Steve Gadd. The only pity regarding this live-recording and the group was the fact that the drummer Steve Gadd, a brilliant and influential drummer in pop and fusion circles, is just too hard-hitting for the material at times, when subtlety is required. In the follow-up to Steps, rightly named Steps Ahead, this problem was solved by replacing him with Peter Erskine (see their album with the same name). Nonetheless, a fine album.
