- Give this video a minute and the front camera will appear. My first live gig in 18 months was a week at Birdland Jazz Club NYC (September 21-25, 2021) playing the music of John Coltrane with this all-star cast of players! The sets, and arrangements, were organized by producer Milan Simich. I filmed the sets with my over-head Zoom camera and, luckily, Jon Bassuk filmed Mr. P.C. on his iPhone. Christian Grassart edited the two together to create this video capturing the 12+ minute performance. I keep the 12-bar form for my solo and played 26 choruses.
My Zildjian cymbal setup is, drummer perspective L-R: 14” Armand HHs, 20” Complex II, Peter Erskine “Left Side Ride” (as my main ride), 20” Staccato Ride, 26” Andrés Forero prototype ride. The Sonor drums are my 30th Anniversary kit with an 18” BD, 12” rack, 14” & 16” floor toms, SS Signature metal snare and SS 40thAnniversary Beech as a side snare.

So this is how heaven looks like . Front row with a bottle of wine , Coltrane´s music played by Mr Steve Smith !. Amazing.
I love Steve Smith. An absolute master of taste & execution 👍🏾
First live gig in eighteen months you say? Haha.. So nice too you right back into what you love. Sounding great!
The best thing about this is that it is live. Thank god these guys are able to get back out in front of people and play again.
They killed it!
Great to see you in action Steve after all these years . You are still making history. - John
Thanks for sharing! You are a true inspiration!
Awesome... Wish I could have been there!
Awesome! Great touch, I could hear the head throughout the entire song
Nothing better than live music. Steve has no rust.
Congratulations!!! Greetings from Spain!!
No matter what format Steve is playing in he never fails to Mesmerize us! Steve is among the very best if not THE best all-around drummer in the world. Steve can do anything and make it look easy. One of my biggest Inspirations and influences since first seeing him live in 1980 in Chicago when he played with journey and he has progressively gotten better and better as the years go on Simply Amazing! There is only one other drummer that I have ever seen that continued to improve technically, musically and creatively through the years as time went on and that was Buddy. Need I say more?
The master of masters
Truly delightful!
Even the overhead camera is nodding to this groovy beat.
it's nice to see Steve back playing Jazz.
The can play anything you throw @ him. His Journey stuff is so 180 degrees off this stuff. What a master.
Good to see you back!
Organic and beautiful! Yes, yes! The tune coursing through our heads, chorus after chorus...
Steve Smith, what a journey he's had since the Rock band Journey.
Always pushing his technique n career on to higher levels.
Seemingly a modest n gentle person
but a great pioneer n player in modern music!
Great musician
Steve,
I grew up listening to Journey in my moms car. Then, through my high school, college, and the past couple years loving jazz. You made my worlds collide in the absolute best way, since I discovered you are a jazz musician as well.
You are a killer drummer and musician. Thank you!
This was a great start to my day.
My first time seing a live version of this song, Such a great track!
Just supreme love💘
Magic ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mr. P. C. is one of my favorite Coltrane pieces, and you all did a marvelous job with it!
Crazy! Thank you.
Thank for this video Steve, it's pure gold! Awesome pianist by the way!
Wow!! Steve Smith is so awesome! Just beautiful!
Great,as always!!!
Awesome performance, love the band, great chemistry, nice to see you guys are back, stay safe, cheers form Brazil., thanks for sharing.
To have live music again is great. Wonderful playing. The over-head Zoom shots were very informative - gave some great insight into Mr. Smith's masterful technique.
Beautiful Steve! You always deliver with style and grace. Kudos to the rest of the band as well.
As a 40 year Sx player, I still want to be Steve Smith. Always on...
A master at work. His solos are epic.
Amazing playing, sir!
Hey Steve, we once made eye contact across the room at the Australian Ultimate Drummers Weekend about 10 years ago, which sort've made my day in a strange way. Good vibes or something. Good vibes right here too. Keep on smiling, peace.
What a wonderful performance!
Yes!!!
I have been listening to your fusion albums a lot on spotify Mr Smith. Thank you for keeping fusion alive.
Great playing from everyone, but that drum solo is something else!
Dude!! You and Neil Peart HAVE to be 2 of the BEST drummers of my era!!!! Your rhythm, speed and control is amazing!! Those fellow musicians and crowd were super lucky to have you there!
Brilliant!
Great hands!
I can’t wait to see you live again. You got to make it out to Yoshi’s again.
Absolutely amazing!! Cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷
Steve has been such a rock in the jazz & fusion world. Last saw him at Birdland with Bill Evans, but also with Garzone, Mike Maineri, and others.
Wow I could hear the melody through that whole solo... fantastic
Great band! Steve is such a great drummer!
Smmmmmooooooooooooooth
What a line up. Steve with Helen and Jaleel is unreal

Unbelievable playing! Video editing is great too!

Incrível. Super solista 🥁🎶.
This is siiiiiiick
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥁
fun
Zounds! Mr. P. C. would have been happy.
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thanks for making it available! I see you are using a black dot reso head on the rack tom. Do you consistently use this with a coated ambassador batter? Do you use this as a reso on the floor toms?
What metal is the snare..
