Rhythm & Groove - Bernard "Pretty" Purdie (English)

I want to start a section in which to present the famous and not so famous people - drummers. Vast is the world of drum virtuosos, techies, groove masters. Rhythm is captivating, very much of my blood plasma consists of an intuitive sense of rhythm and is just natural to focus on the people behind the drum sets. So start.

First, opening this groove section is a Bernard "Pretty" Purdie.


Is not a Drummer? How about a nice funky, groovy to God drummer. One of the most recorded and respected session drummer-giant. Bernard "Pretty" Purdie. Born June 11, 1939. Unique and with amazing sense of humor. Just as you understand with what artists has worked and recorded, immediately comes to your mind words - living legend. James Brown; Aretha Franklin; Larry Coryell; BB King; Eddie Palmieri; Dizzy Gillespie; Miles Davis; Cat Stevens; Herbie Mann; Steely Dan; Joe Cocker; man I speak for Institution and therefore stop to recite names. Will it exaggerated if I think, that this is Dizzy Gillespie on drums, is as pleasant as thought, but he brings little visually to him, like that for delicacy. Artist of great significance from those who do not shine and blind you with his quickness and impossible technique, but is quoted in schoolbook, in books are write about them, refer them really big names in rock, soul, r 'n' b music, and there are where they belong - as mandatory magnitude, for a really appreciate them artists and listeners.

"I will not been forgotten. Now this time for me to move on" - these are words that can say a great man who gave the music a lot, a timeless teacher, and this is the sweet truth.

See it and enjoy every word and note, leave yourself on groove to become the majority part in your blood. I smiled reverently and leisure during the whole video, listen and captivated by the groove (see just how he enjoys playing with beatboxers, hey, this is the joy of jam session). Let the rhythm do the talkin 'baby.
