BOSTON ,
September 12, 2005 – Abraham
Laboriel, Patrice Rushen, and Steve
Gadd received honorary doctor of
music degrees for their outstanding
contributions to contemporary music,
and treated the crowd to a surprise
performance at Berklee College of
Music’s 2005 Entering Student Convocation,
Friday, September 9, 2005, at the
Berklee Performance Center. The three
honorees, Berklee President Roger
Brown, and Vice President for Student
Affairs Lawrence E. Bethune, welcomed
approximately 815 students from more
than 75 countries, at the ceremony.
Steve Gadd, one of the most in-demand drummers in the world, and who has worked
with such artists as Joe Cocker, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, and Aretha Franklin,
among many others, said after accepting his degree that the honor was extra-special
because he was sharing the moment with Rushen, and Laboriel, two of his closest
musical peers. “This is probably my only chance to get a honorary degree because
I’m not the greatest student in the world,” said Gadd. “But I love music. I found
one thing that I loved and I just kept on doing it … and if I can do it, I believe
you all can do it. Welcome aboard.” |

"Steve Gadd’s drumming on ’50 Ways To Leave Your Lover’, for instance, is the archetypal example of a drummer halfway selling a song before the singer has even started"
