Bernard Purdie With The Keyes-Bergson Hooks Band

Saturday, October 24, 2026 @ 7:30pm
Lizzie Rose Music Room
Tuckerton, NJ

Bernard Purdie - The World's Most Recorded Drummer. 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.  Purdie has laid down the beat on over 3000 albums to date.
