Bernard "Pretty" Purdie

Drummer Bernard "Pretty" Purdie, a groove merchant said to be the most-recorded drummer alive (you've heard him behind Miles Davis, Aretha Franklin and Steely Dan, to name but three prominent examples) takes the stage at B.B.'s Lucille's Bar with vocalist Rob Paparozzi, guitarist Frankie Cicala, pianist Miho Nobuzane, bassist Tetsuya Sato and vibes man Jason Taylor. This one ought to be funky, folks.
