Our Take

In the grand tradition of "Purdie Goodin," esteemed drummer Bernard Purdie delivers a masterclass in groove that's as essential as it is funky. With a career spanning over six decades, Purdie's reputation precedes him, and this album only solidifies his status as a drumming legend.

From the opening track, it's clear that Purdie is in a league of his own. His impeccable sense of rhythm and timing is on full display, effortlessly weaving through complex polyrhythms with the precision of a Swiss watchmaker. The way he glides across the kit is truly a sight to behold, like a master painter working their canvas with finesse.

But it's not just Purdie's drumming that shines on this record. The musicianship on display is top-notch, with each member of the band adding their own unique flair to the mix. The chemistry between the players is palpable, creating a musical synergy that's impossible to ignore.

Tracks like "Funky Goodin" and "Groove City" showcase Purdie's unmatched ability to lock in with the band and lay down a solid foundation for some seriously infectious grooves. The energy is infectious, and before you know it, you'll be tapping your foot and nodding your head along to the beat.

In a world filled with imitators, Bernard Purdie stands out as a true original. "Purdie Goodin" is a testament to his unparalleled talent and enduring legacy in the world of music. So sit back, relax, and let Purdie and his band take you on a wild, funky ride. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
