Artist Biography by Ron Wynn
An all-time great
soul, R&B, funk, and pop drummer, Bernard Purdie's impeccable time
and mastery of backbeats and grooves are celebrated. He moved to New York from Maryland in 1960, and recorded with James Brown, King Curtis, and many others. He
was CTI's house drummer in the late '60s and early '70s, and worked
with Grover Washington, Jr. and George Benson among several others. Purdie toured with Curtis and Aretha Franklin in 1970, and was Franklin's music director until 1975. During
his studio days in the early '70s, Purdie recorded with Louis Armstrong
and Gato Barbieri along with numerous rock, pop, and soul sessions. He recorded with Dizzy Gillespie in 1980 at the Montreux Jazz Festival and toured with him in 1983. Purdie recorded with Hank Crawford during the early '80s, and has continued working steadily into the '90s. He
generated a firestorm of reaction in 1993 when he charged it was his
uncredited drumming rather than Ringo Starr's on some Beatles tracks. Purdie claimed proof was forthcoming, but none was presented. He made a rare date as a leader for Flying Dutchman in 1972, Pretty Purdie, that has long since disappeared. But Purdie can be heard on countless discs by Brown, Franklin, Curtis, Gillespie, and Crawford among many others.

Biografía del artista por Ron Wynn
Un gran alma de
todos los tiempos, R&B, funk y batería pop, se celebra el tiempo
impecable de Bernard Purdie y su dominio de los backbeats y los grooves. Se mudó a Nueva York desde Maryland en 1960, y grabó con James Brown, King Curtis y muchos otros. Fue
el baterista de la CTI a finales de los 60 y principios de los 70, y
trabajó con Grover Washington Jr. y George Benson entre otros. Purdie hizo una gira con Curtis y Aretha Franklin en 1970, y fue el director musical de Franklin hasta 1975. Durante
sus días de estudio a principios de los 70, Purdie grabó con Louis
Armstrong y Gato Barbieri junto con numerosas sesiones de rock, pop y
soul. Grabó con Dizzy Gillespie en 1980 en el Festival de Jazz de Montreux y realizó una gira con él en 1983. Purdie grabó con Hank Crawford a principios de los 80, y ha seguido trabajando constantemente hasta los 90. Generó
una tormenta de reacciones en 1993 cuando acusó a su batería no
acreditada en lugar de la de Ringo Starr en algunos temas de los
Beatles. Purdie afirmó que había pruebas, pero no se presentó ninguna. Hizo una cita poco común como líder del Flying Dutchman en 1972, Pretty Purdie, que hace tiempo que desapareció. Pero Purdie puede ser escuchado en innumerables discos de Brown, Franklin, Curtis, Gillespie y Crawford entre muchos otros.
