Bernard "Pretty" Purdie's Soul Drums stands as a dynamic showcase of one of jazz and soul's most legendary drummers at the top of his game. Originally released in 1968, this album bursts with irresistible grooves, funky rhythms, and the unmistakable flair that made Purdie's drumming style iconic across the worlds of jazz, soul, and funk.
This edition features a gatefold jacket with insightful liner notes from a recent interview with Purdie, enriched by rare photos from the late 1960s. Collectors and fans alike will appreciate the inclusion of an entire bonus LP: the long-lost follow-up album, “Alexander’s Rag Time Band,” finally given a proper release.
