    Hi, I'm Stéphane, a huge fan of 2 drummers, Jeffrey Porcaro and Carlos Vega.
    2 drummers very close in their technics, their groove!
    Carlos Vega was born in Cuba on December 7, 1956 and grew up in Los Angeles.
    Carlos performed with a wide variety of musicians across many genres.
    I miss Carlos because he was, he is...so amazing in all his tracks he played..
    Here is a fantastic performance of Carlos vega

      Please what question and what was his answer? Carlos and Gadd are my GOAT drummer with Jim Gordon and Jeff a close second. Its not just the skills,feel or sound. Its a knowing about what will sound best. It's a type of rare genius. These guys move different as well. Like Space is the place but not simple. He was so special!!!

    carlos vega is killing, the drums is the star in this concert ,this is best that i had heard, and the best off all the drummers, i think Lee Ritenour noticed the energy of the drums, carlos vega is on top of the recording, the way he gives the fills to go to part C of the song R.I.P carlos vega

      Yes, that's Jimmy Johnson absolute killer bassist. This is one hell of a band with Dave Grusin and Larry Williams. Rit's playing is off the charts. So sad about Carlos Vega, one of the great drummers of that period along with Jeff Porcaro, John JR Robinson and Buddy Williams and several others too.

    Excellent! I could never imagine the world of music without him… this is top notch music on many levels it’s just unfortunate that ears have been trained to limit the taste and understanding of music. Now it’s the absolute lowest denomination of art and appreciation! And you need both…we need great artist and those who find enjoyment in their craft…Fly On Chick Corea
