"Purdie Good / Shaft" on CD presents two sought-after early-'70s albums by master drummer Bernard "Pretty" Purdie, showcasing his unmistakable groove, tight arrangements and soulful, jazz-funk sensibility. Across these sessions you'll hear deep, syncopated drum patterns, warm bass lines, brass-driven hooks and atmospheric organ parts that made Purdie a cornerstone of funk, soul and jazz recordings of that era. The "Purdie Good" material leans into earthy funk and soul-jazz instrumentals, while the "Shaft" section offers his own, hard-grooving interpretations of contemporary themes and R&B-flavoured tunes, all delivered with a relaxed but razor-sharp pocket. This CD is ideal for fans of classic funk, DJs looking for breaks and collectors interested in authentic 1970s studio craftsmanship, presented in coherent, album-style sequencing with a consistent, rich analog sound.
