Jazz
with Willy Bridges, Charlie Brown, Neal Creque, Warren Daniels, Lloyd Davis, Ted Dunbar, Gordon Edwards, Tippy Larkin, Danny Moore, Billy Nichols, Houston Person, Norman Pride, Gerry Thomas, Harold Wheeler
Much of what is today known as acid jazz is defined to a great degree by the wondrously syncopated soul grooves drummer Bernard "Pretty" Purdie contributed to sessions during the late Sixties and early Seventies by such artists as Gene Ammons, Hank Crawford, Herbie Hancock, Boogaloo Joe Jones, Les McCann, David "Fathead" Newman, Shirley Scott, Jimmy Smith, and Johnny "Hammond" Smith. Somehow in his busy schedule of two to four sessions a day, Purdie found time to lead his own band, which recorded these two albums in 1971. The drummer gives plenty of solo space to his sidemen on these incisive originals and covers of R&B and jazz tunes, but, as usual, he's in complete control throughout--and loving every minute of it.
Bernard "Pretty" Purdie
Active Decades: '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s
Born: Jun 11, 1939 in Elkton, MD
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Jazz Blues, Jazz-Funk, Jazz-Pop, Soul-Jazz
An all-time great soul, R&B, funk, and pop drummer, Bernard Purdie's impeccable time and mastery of backbeats and grooves are celebrated. He moved to New York from Maryland in 1960, and recorded with James Brown, King Curtis, and many others. He was CTI's house drummer in the late '60s and early '70s, and worked with Grover Washington, Jr. and George Benson among several others. Purdie toured with Curtis and Aretha Franklin in 1970, and was Franklin's music director until 1975. During his studio days in the early '70s, Purdie recorded with Louis Armstrong and Gato Barbieri along with numerous rock, pop, and soul sessions. He recorded with Dizzy Gillespie in 1980 at the Montreux Jazz Festival and toured with him in 1983. Purdie recorded with Hank Crawford during the early '80s, and has continued working steadily into the '90s. He generated a firestorm of reaction in 1993 when he charged it was his uncredited drumming rather than Ringo Starr's on some Beatles tracks. Purdie claimed proof was forthcoming, but none was presented. He made a rare date as a leader for Flying Dutchman in 1972, Pretty Purdie, that has long since disappeared. But Purdie can be heard on countless discs by Brown, Franklin, Curtis, Gillespie, and Crawford among many others.
