Bernard Purdie > Theme from “Shaft”
For this last Isaac Tribute day, it seemed to me his most famous song was so indelibly imprinted on our brains it might be a bit redundant. A cover’s in order. Bernard “Pretty” Purdie bills himself as “the world’s most recorded drummer” and it well might be true. He’s certainly among the best.
