This is what you get, when you put some of the greatest session players together in 1 room.. It is why Steely Dan was so phenomenal.

I still have their first three albums from the very early 1970s in pristine condition BTW. They were deep on talent back then and never got their due. They seemed to get overshadowed by groups like War and EW&F. Had the pleasure to see them live at HU in 73. Monsters!

not the real purdie shuffle. but anyway pretty good

Mr Virgil Jones 🎉

Yeah baby that’s what I’m talking about!

Originators of the song was a college band called the Toronadoes out of Texas State University.

The great Lou Donaldson! Genius level musicians here.

Mr.Purdie is one of my Favorite all time natural Drummers.. He plays “Big” Heavy on the Snare ,Pocket with appropriate “Grooves” I still play that Famous “ Hi -Hat riff ( end of Ooooh child by the Stair-steps) 😅

A few years back, late 80’s, I had the pleasure of hosting Mr. Perdie and his band at a venue that I did production managing for. His was a standout performance for me, what a joyous night it was.

They done did it. They hired the hit maker. Bernard "pretty" Purdie!

All the stars you would ever need

Don't have time to take a selfie if you're mixing for real.
