And this is what its all about Bernard Purdie laying down the infectious beat and surrounded by fine musicians who play their hearts out. Any person in this wide wide world who doesn't tap their toes DANCE or SMILE is missing a big part of living. Long Live Master Bernard Purcdie. God came down from heaven and gave him drum sticks that GROOVE GROOVE GROOVE. the man the legend behind that drum set Mr. BERNARD PURDIE. the beginning and end of the GROOVE Drumming.
dont know if anyone gives a damn but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all the new series on instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my girlfriend lately :)
That's how you play those drums. Incredible. He is a master of tempo/tempo control. His 2&4 is smooth and he never rushes a turnaround keeping the band solid, steady and well balanced. If this music was a ship at sea, it would never sway on the waves it was that steady. This was more enjoyable than chops. Musicality over chops all day.
good to see a true master drummer doing his thing with a beautiful smile instead of the look of pain you see on lots of drummers faces , pretty purdie we love you
And to the two people who thumbs downed. Your soul is nonexistent. This is great. Just for the fact that music breaks down all the barriers and folk really come together. Love this. Love music.
Probably disliked bc of that sax solo - it’s just terrible he didn’t play with any soul like the others he just played high notes the whole time and the same licks over and over again
You can't fault Bernard Purdie. The man is such a soulful player. Every beat is a pearl. But the great let down for me is The Saxophonist. King Curtis is a hard man to follow. And Memphis Soul Stew is all about the Sax. Shame really, And the Bass player is not playing the Bass line right. That is just my opinion. Other people might like it. But Bernard " Pretty " Purdie is the man who is full of Soul and groove.
@@paulgibby6932 sure thing - I'm a big fan of both his dad and him. He moved to ATL in the early 2000's from NYC, where I used to see him on a regular basis, now I get to see/hear him again... on a regular basis.
