SOUL DRUMS[67]BERNARD PURDIE

DATE (FIRST PRESS ORIGINAL)

[MEGA RARE！Trading At A Higher Price！]


Maryland/Elkton(born June 11, 1939)。高校卒業後にNYへ移り、Session Drummerとして活動を始める。King Curtisの(KINGPINS)のDrummerを務めて名を上げ、1970年からはAretha FranklinのBand Leaderを務めた。その後Blues/Pops/Funk/Soul/R&B/Rock/Jazz/Fusionと幅広いGenreで活躍、Steely Dan/James Brown/Aretha Franklinなど挙げたらきりが無いほどRecording/Live Sessionに参加した！人はその演奏Style(Drumming Style)を[Funky/Groove/Groovy/Fatback/Tight/Drive]等の言葉で表現している。彼は、James Brownの曲(Ain't That A Groove/Kansas City)でもPlayしている。Groove感あふれる16Beat/独特のTime感を持つShuffleが特徴で(Purdie Shuffle)と呼ばれ、Ghost Noteが常に鳴っている独特のShuffleで多くのDrummerに影響を与えている。このDrummingに影響された、Led Zepellinの(John Bonham-故人)は(Fool in the Rain)で(Purdie Shuffle)を叩いている。Bernard Purdieは、Steely DanのAlbum[Aja]の(Home at Last)という曲で、この(Purdie Shuffle)を叩き、(Home at Last)のBernard PurdieのDrummingが基になってJeff Porcaro（＊1992年、自宅の庭で殺虫剤を散布中にアレルギーで心臓発作を起こし38歳で急死！/Porcaroにとって、Bernard PurdieのDrumming/Grooveは、目指すべき目標だったようです！)はToToの(Rosanna)のDrum Pattern/Rhythm Patternが生まれた(＊Rosanna Shuffle)1990年代以降は、1970年代のBlack Music/Jazz/Funkが再評価された中で"Respect"を受けるMusicianの一人となった。HIP HOPにおいては彼の叩いた曲はSamplingの元ネタとして多用された。Bernard Lee "Pretty" Purdie が1967年にReleaseしたFirst、Solo Album。強力なDrum Breaks(Soul Drums/Soul Bossa Nova/Funky Donkey)等を収録したSoul Jazzのの傑作/Purdieの作品でも最高と評される作品です。

＊Purdie Shuffle/Halftime Shuffle:基本はBeat(1拍の中に16分音符が4つで構成されるRhythm Patterns)Halftime Shuffleの場合はそれが6つで構成される、16分音符がハネてるRhythm。Bernard Purdieの叩くHalftime shuffleは、Purdie Shuffleと呼ばれる！

＊Ghost Note:主にGuitar/Drumsの演奏において用いられる装飾音(音を揺らしたり付け加えたりすることによって、音を飾ること)の一種で捨て音とも呼ばれ、実際の譜面には書かれていない(＊Snareで拍の裏なんかで鳴らす小さな音)

＊Time感＝仮に一小節の一拍を96分割し、その96×4拍＝384を一つの尺度とした場合、384の中で繰り広げられる8Beat(16Beat)の譜割において、四分音符による4拍が[0（384)/96/192/288]あるいは8分音符8拍が[0（384)/48/96/144/192/240/288/336]で刻まれるのが(NormalなTime感)であるが、Drummer個人において少々のバラ付きがある。(＊音符の長さをControlできる感覚)

＊TIME:音楽用語では(Time＝拍子)のこと。

＊BERNARD PURDIE(BERNARD "PRETTY" PURDIE):Big Mouthでも有名で、どこまでが本当なんだかわからない発言が一杯あります。＊僕は、世界一録音されたDrummerで、4000枚以上ものAlbumに参加している/実はThe Beatlesの初期の21曲は僕が叩いているんだ/Ghost Note(Snareで拍の裏なんかで鳴らす小さな音)は自分が作り出したetc...

＊Drum Beat/Drum Pattern:音楽におけるRhythm/Rhythm感のことで、Beatとも呼ばれる。
