  • Steps Ahead was a jazz fusion group formed by vibraphonist Mike Mainieri in the 1970s. In the heydays the lineup consisted of Mike Mainieri, saxophonist Michael Brecker, pianist Don Grolnick, bassplayer Eddie Gómez and drummer Steve Gadd. They fused elements of jazz, R&B, funk and rock in one blend of jazz rock.
    The band was active during the 1970’s and 1980’s and fell apart in the nineties. They gave a reunion concert however during the 2005 North Sea Jazz Festival.
    This unique concert was recorded at the North Sea Jazz Festival, 14 July 1985 at the Congresgebouw, The Hague, The Netherlands, featuring Michael Brecker and the rhythm section of Weather Report: Victor Bailey and Peter Erskine. It was never broadcast!
    The full line up:
    Mike Mainieri, vibraphone,
    Michael Brecker, saxophone
    Chuck Loeb, guitar,
    Victor Bailey, bass
    Peter Erskine, drums

    A few months before Steve Smith and Mike Stern came in. I saw a kind of pickup version of Steps Ahead many years later in Montreal, with Mainieri and Brecker and Jeff Watts on drums. One thing that was obvious was how much they loved playing this material.

Even if 'customs' says otherwise. I remain surprised at the calmness bc i'd be goin off! What a set!
