DRUMMERS DELIGHT: "Pretty" Purdie & Kon

Oh sh*t! How about the "world's most recorded drummer" Bernard Purdie brought together with my homie, Kon (previously featured here) by Red Bull Music Academy for a night of musical experimentation? Here is a little background info on Bernard "Pretty" Purdie...this man is a living legend! Sadly, the video is just a teaser.

"Which musician did Aretha Franklin definitely NOT want missing from the line-up when she recorded her most inspired albums at the beginning of the seventies? Who provided the back-beat for Steely Dan's "Aja", and for whom have Isaac Hayes, Donny Hathaway, B.B. King, "Sweet" Lou Donaldson, Joe Cocker and Hank Crawford reserved that stool behind the drum kit? The list is incomplete, it must be, because no other drummer in the last three decades has seen the interior of a recording studio as often as Bernard "Pretty" Purdie. The 57 year-old native of Elkton, Maryland has laid down the beat on over 3000 albums to date."
