On September 13, 2003, Steve Gadd was honored by the Avedis Zildjian Company at the second American Drummers Achievement Awards (ADAA) at the Berklee Performance Center in Boston, MA - a historic evening that included a special tribute to the late Armand Zildjian.
The once-in-a-lifetime event was hosted by Mr. Bill Cosby and featured an all-star band that included Vinnie Colaiuta and Rick Marotta on drums, Michael Landau on guitar, Jimmy Johnson on bass and Larry Goldings on keyboards. Special guest appearances by Will Lee, vocals and Tom Scott, saxophone!
