Richard Tee - Live at the Bottomline 1990 (with Steve Gadd and others)

I veri musicisti

This is when musicians were the best!!!! I was a Miami pro drummer in the 80’s and Gadd was God on drums. The Miami sound was created and inspired by these studio guys from NYC and LA.

Dare I say I didn’t know John Tropea? Man, great guitar work, brilliant actually. I love strats and even the JC120 can be made sound great!

Is He Dennis Rodman with championship Ring 💍

Richard Tee was an entire orchestra on the Rhodes, his sound the essence of electric piano. A giant.

Ever get an overwhelming joy that makes it feel like your heart is about to burst? Then there's that unrelenting undercurrent of sadness in missing Richard Tee. This brings back so many memories.

Is that Steve Bailey on Bass?

These musicians were fabulous together! Richard Tee was a spectacular pianist. Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" and "Take The A-Train" were excellent duets with Tee and Gadd! Tom Scott in Strokin', Will Lee, Ralph McDonald, Steve Gadd, John Tropea, Scott, and Tee in "It's Time" and "Precious Thing" were all great!

Really cool of Richard Tee to let Tyler the Creator sit in on the conga. Big props to him for giving a chance to such an unknown artist at the time

I have been listening to these great musicians since 1982.. 😁Gang is together again..only Eric or Cornell is missing. Greetings from Finland. 😊🖐

oh THAT bass!!!!!

I was lucky I worked two Richard Tee Lp’s when he sign ed with CBS Columbia. Remember Stuff was the House Band on SNL. Someone at the helm was hip as these guys were the absolute best for the Genre of
Music they played. We also had Eric Gale ( Guitar) not in this Vid but a complete original. Remember this had to be about 73-77. Richard Tee couldn’t sing but he was a great Keyboardist.

Tom Scott on Strokin' has to be one of the best combinations of solos ever!.....he pounds this piece....Richard moves it up to and between Toms's cuts.....Powerful!....

What a groove on "Strokin" and what a high class of Musicians !!
Richard Tee was one of the best piano player in his style !!

the creme of the crop

oh yes pure magic man

2023 and still amazing!

Wow, Richard Tee and Steve Gadd were on Tom Scott's Apple Juice album in 1981. It's one of my favorite albums of all time. I realised after hearing this how fundamental Richard Tee was to the group's sound.

So tired of people judging vocalist based on their pre conceived ideas of how a vocalist should sound. What about Bob Dylan, Randy Newman, Richie Havens,Mose Allison,Tom Waites and more? How much greatness would,we have missed if we only heard them through our pre conceived ideas for what is "good" singing.

ohh this! Sort of music i have not heard in a loooong time. Great stuff!

Will Lee is amazing. He's like Marcus...can read his ass off, and improvise at the same time :-) He always plays like "this take is for the artist's album"...and there's only time for 1 of them! Lol

RICHARD TEE ✨🌌🤟

Richard TEE era lo Steve GADD della tastiera. Fine. 🌟🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅

Insane how locked-in everyone is. These are masters and it shows, its communicated in the joy and respect they have for each other and how much fun they are having playing! I would have lost my mind had I been there to hear this live! Can't even imagine!

That feeling when the algorithm delivers something you never knew you needed.

The musicians (especially Richard Tee on keyboards and Steve Gadd on drums) came from a crack collective of professional musicians that played on dozens of recordings in New York and Los Angeles in the seventies. And they were all great at it!

Will Lee's outfit lmao

wow...I dindt know.....all this time

Amen, @blacjazzz. I lose my mind listening to them here. What flabbergasts me is why each of these masters is not FAMOUS. Especially RT.

I' d call this music genre , ad lib ...super jazz

Props to Tom Scott for playing tenor w/ that hard plastic mouthpiece when it was de rigueur to play w/ metal.

Terrific rapport the band have together and Tee has with the audience. It was terrific experiencing Tee & Gadd on "something from Gershwin" the warmup to Strokin'

Will Lee is untouchable, but looking rather fruity

cocaine was hella good in the 90s

와 미쳣군 대박

I discovered this through George Collier's music channel, where he transcribes noteworthy musical scenes. It was Tee's pump-tastic solo on Strokin'. I would've simply had no idea this even existed otherwise. That compelled me to search for the complete song. Which led me to this amazing concert. Thanks for uploading!

damn

One of the best live concerts that I watch in my life

最高‼︎

THE two hands Octave Man

Ao ouvir aquele timbre de Rhodes no show do central park com Simon and Garfunkel, excelente sua participação na banda, o brilho que ele deu naquele álbum dublo foi demais, pesquisei muito pra saber quem era o tecladista, não foi fácil, mas enfim consegui saber que era o esse Richard Tee e até então não tinha visto falar, genial 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Un must. Pas très connu en France mais malgré tout si vous écoutez le cimetière des éléphants de M Eddy. Mitchell vous allez trouver une certaine similitude à l'écoute du clavier (fender Rhodes ) puisque c'est Richard Tee qui assure dans ce titre enregistré à New York avec également Steve Gadd à la batterie. Immense musicien , derrière Paul Simon, Grover Washington Jr (just the two of us) , et Roberta flack (RIP) entre autre. Ajouter à cela Tom Scott au sax et vous avez un grand moment musical. Grad monsieur disparu malheureusement trop tôt.

I love how he seamlessly quotes Embraceable You and But Not For Me in Rhapsody in Blue to pay further homage to the Gershwins. Tee truly was a musician’s musician

Gone too soon
