Fairly KickAss Podcast - The Unsung: Bernard Purdie

Ass-Kickers! We got a solo dolo for you today, with another one of our Unsung episodes, where we look at those folks in the music industry that are lesser known for their amazing accomplishments. For those who remember, it was the one you were supposed to see a few weeks ago. But hey, better late than never, right?...right?Well lemme say that this story is definitely one that should be told, late or otherwise. Because Bernard Purdie may be the best drummer that you've never heard of.I'll double down and say it again: Bernard Purdie may be the best drummer that you've never heard of. I stand by it! But I'll let his music stand on its own, both from his own releases to collaborations with a veritable who's-who across the music landscape. He also created a shuffle, which is something we could all only hope to do.Take a little peek, but with your ears, and let us know what you think in all the usual ways:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/fairlykickass.bsky.socialInstagram: https://instagram.com/fairlykickassTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fairlykickassThreads: https://www.threads.net/@fairlykickassWebsite (for Ride-Along Playlists): https://fairlykickass.com/Next week: last week's next week will become this week's next week, so to steal what I wrote before:An old concept with a new spin. It's not a great spin. It definitely doesn't bring the room together. But it's all we got for you, and we're sorry for that.I'll also reuse my outro, to emphasize that one thing that we will NEVER apologize for is encouraging all of you, week after week, to Keep. Kicking. Ass.
