Will Lee and Steve Gadd Bring Serious Pocket to “Close Call”

There are plenty of great bass and drum pairings, but few have the history and chemistry of Will Lee and Steve Gadd.

Simon Oslender leads the way on “Close Call,”.  Will Lee is holding it all together on his signature five string Sadowsky through an Aguilar rig.  The result has the relaxed feel of a jazz standard while staying rooted in modern groove. It is conversational, swinging, and packed with subtle moments that reward repeat listens.

The performance comes from On A Roll Live, recorded during Oslender’s All That Matters tour in Germany.
