Just got home from seeing Bernard “Pretty” Purdie with the Duke Jazz Band. For those that don’t know, Purdie is one of those drummers you’ve heard a million times, but you never knew it (that’s life as a side man for you). Look him up. He even has a groove named after him (which I’ve been working on for years and can’t even touch compared to him).
Immediate response – there are some guys who, when you see them play, you say, “Oh, so that’s how he does it”. After seeing Purdie for the first time, I still have no idea how he does it! He’s so smooth, so controlled, and so deeply soulful, it comes from another planet.
Back to the shed.
