Purdie's great but I'm Jemmott-a-holic. I wish Jerry, Purdie and Dupree would do a series of clinics around the country.

The Jer-cat took a flyer on many great artists...he was one of the all-time greats.

[bebop54]

yeah!!!!!!!!!!

With all due respect to these fine performers, and the great Jerry Wexler, For me ( a drummer ) this was also a clinic on how to play an R& B ballad correctly on the

drums. Purdi has definetly still got it. He gives this slow tempo life, and buoyancy. With consistent attention to dynamics. Loved everyone's performance!

You forgot to list the amazing JEN LEIGH on guitar!

done

[strandwolf]

@jazzpictures Yes, thanks, indeed. Mike Finnegan! Good to know that. Also, it would help generate views to include the song title in your header. Lovely introductory speech by Ms. LaVette, also.

Thank you for posting this for those of us who couldn't be there at Jerry's Memorial. He was a wonderful man to know and a blessing to all the artists and people at Atlantic who worked with and for him. Hwe would so have enjoyed this. Good to see again some of those familiar faces, too.
