It's always an honor and a pleasure to play with New Jersey-based drum legend Bernard "Pretty" Purdie. Ever since playing on his first hit record in 1959 (Doris Troy's "Just One Look"), Bernard has earned the nickname of, "The Hitmaker." His long career has included recordings and gigs with a "who's who" of American popular music, ranging from James Brown to Quincy Jones to Barbara Streisand! He has literally played on thousands of albums. Google Bernard to learn more.At this Tuesday evening gig at one of Seattle's top music venues, Bernard will be reunited with me and saxophonist Renato Caranto (we played with him on his 2012 "Purdie Good Cookin'" CD as well as at several other gigs since then). Filling out the band will be the phenomenal vocalist LaRhonda Steele. LaRhonda and I performed with Bernard at the 2017 Porretta Soul Festival.Seating & dinner service begin at 6 pm. You can purchase tickets to both the Tuesday and Wednesday shows here.
