O’Donel Levy – Simba (1974, US)

Our next spotlight is on number 303 on The List, submitted by weirdofhermiston. And, hot damn, this is one funky album! This is the fourth "solo" album from Baltimore jazz guitarist Levy, with a brass-heavy backing band that is sure to have some names many of you are familiar with, such as a certain Tony Levin on bass and Steve Gadd on drums. Hit. Play. Now.

O’Donel Levy – Simba (1974, US)

Our next spotlight is on number 303 on The List, submitted by weirdofhermiston.

Well hot damn, this is one funky album!

This is the fourth solo album from Baltimore jazz guitarist Levy, his fourth on Sonny Lester’s Groove Merchant album, third to be arranged by Manny Albam, and first to contain solely Levy’s own (or co-written) compositions.

What the stoic album cover doesn’t tell you is that contained within is a Levy-led brass-heavy band with members some of you may be familiar with, particularly in the rhythm section: Eddie Daniels on flute, piccolo, and baritone saxophone; Jon Faddis and Ernie Royal on trumpet; Burt Collins and Lew Soloff on both flugelhorn and trumpet; Cecil Bridgewater and Alan Rubin on flugelhorn; Bill Watrous on trombone; Warren Bernhardt on electric piano; Tony Levin – yes, the Tony Levin – on bass; and, *drum roll please* Steve Gadd on drums.

Have you hit play yet?!

Happy listening, all!

The cover art is mostly a close-up photo of some architectural detail (perhaps in a wood door?) that has a carving of a lion head inset inside a round cut-out. The sun (off-camera) is shining on the carving so that half of it is in shadow. A dark red band is above the photo along the top edge, with the album name in large white/cream font on the left and the artist name in smaller font on the right, with "ARRANGED BY MANNY ALBUM" underneath in even smaller font.

Just back from a concert with Bilcher Hemmer Gadd. While both Bilcher and Hemmer were great, Steve Gadd is why I bought the ticket.

So thankful to have experienced his drumming live, from about six meters distance. He is 79 years old and still playing perfectly. What an absolute legend!

I've seen some extensive discographies (Sun Ra, Ron Carter come to mind), but nothing like Steve Gadd. 🤯

@jadevol Yeah, especially #ChuckRainey talking about how he went against what they were asking him to play, and making it sound great. To have Chuck Rainey with #BernardPurdie & #JimKeltner & #SteveGadd on drums is something.

I've been working on this lately (Linear 32's): https://youtu.be/ym5KwfdvS1s
anyone got a lesson of this they like? A transcription? #drums ##drumlessons #Stevegadd #lineardrumming

The #Legends Dept: #RickBeato just posted this interview with #SteveGadd that has many good things. Also a bit past 45m he starts to talk about #Displacements making many old things new again. A bit of a journey from the #Discrete into the #Continuous where bar lines seem to disappear and just good clean fun. #Encore encore !
