Purdie Good! Purdie Good! is an album led by jazz drummer Bernard Purdie which was recorded for the Prestige label in 1971. Stewart Mason of Allmusic states, "it seems like Purdie's much-vaunted ability to play well in just about any style thrown at him is almost a liability on 1971's "Purdie Good"... the covers are competent enough, but why listen to them when the originals are far superior? At best, the album only barely lives up to its title". All compositions by Bernard Purdie except where noted
