Tom Scott Band,Richard Tee,Steve Gadd/Tokyo,Japan 1980

Tom Scott, who has been active in various genres from the earliest times and is said to be the founder of the West Coast fusion scene, has a historic encounter with staff members who are at the top of the East Coast fusion scene. The legendary live performance in Japan, which will serve as a stepping stone to “Juice”, is now available for the first time in the highest quality sound! ! Six months before the live recording of “Apple Juice”, the first live album under the Scott name, a staff group consisting of “Apple Juice” core members Steve Gadd and Richard Tee, The legendary Japan event was held in 1980, bringing together talented players from both East and West: Carlos Rios, a famous left-handed guitarist known as Post-Larry Carlton, and Neil Steubenhaus, a regular bassist in the Carlton Band at the time. A treasure trove of 70 minutes of the club gig in Roppongi, Tokyo from the tour on May 28th, recorded on a super high-quality stereo soundboard that has been carefully mastered by the label, has arrived! ! The concert started with the title number of “Street Beat” released the previous year. Musicians from L.A. participated in the recording of the album, but here Gad and Tee already had the audience in a groove with their unique staff-style groove. Furthermore, in the middle of the song, these two performed “Let’s go on the A train,” which is an amazing collaboration between the two. Also, the bass of Steuben House, which is familiar from Larry Carlton’s band’s tour to Japan, is surprisingly Will Lee’s heavy and stable bass. Of particular note is Rios, the guitar player. Carlos became famous as the author of “The River Must Flow,” which was covered live by KYLIN led by Katsumi Watanabe, and was included in the song “Mr. Perfect” Musicians. – Carlos Rios was the one who participated in the masterpiece “Brother to Brother” by Gino Vannelli, an incredible artist born in Canada, and was featured in a big way, gaining attention all at once. In fact, the first person Gino asked to participate was Larry Carlton, but at the time, he was a super popular member of the Crusaders, did sessions for Steely Dan and others, did solo work, and wanted to borrow some help from Gino. He recommended Carlos, a perfect guitarist with phrasing, technique, and feel that would appeal to an expert, and is said to have impressed even Gino. Carlos went on to play an active role at the forefront of everything from Chick Corea’s electric band to Tom Scott, Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks, and Whitney Houston. This performance also shows off his future, and he fully demonstrates his ability on par with Carlton, Robben Ford, Steve Lukather, Jay Graydon, etc. throughout the performance. Of course, Boss Scott’s blowjob is also in a good mood. Live at Club Bee,Roppongi,Tokyo,Japan May.28.1980 Soundboard Recording 67 min 1. Street Beat 2. Ode to Billy Joe – Band intro 3.
