Bernard Purdie Poll: His Six Career-Defining Records

Long ago, I ordered something from a Goldmine dealer and got Gato's El Pampero: Live At Montreux by mistake, I only listed a couple times before sending it back, but recall thinking Purdie was pretty strong all the way through, incl. on the long studio bonus track, "El Gato." Always enjoyed his R&B sessionsm and now it finally occurs to me that I should seek out more work w jazz musicians. Any tips?
Here's the one I heard:

Aw, was just appreciating him all over The Royal Scam.

He turned 80 on Tuesday! Happy birthday Bernard Purdie!
He is so understated and good in Amazing Grace too -- that movie is essential viewing

dang. he looks pretty good for 80!
