WORLD'S MOST RECORDED DRUMMER, BERNARD "PRETTY" PURDIE, TO HEADLINE MIAMI JAZZ WORKSHOP AT ACTORS' PLAYHOUSE

Bernard "Pretty" Purdie, the world's most recorded drummer, will headline the Miami Jazz Workshop to be held at Actors' Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre on Sunday, October 25th.

Purdie, who has performed for the likes of Aretha Franklin, B.B. King, Miles Davis, Steely Dan, Joe Cocker and countless others, has laid the beat for over 3,000 albums to date. Best known for his signature "funky soul beat," Purdie has expanded the boundaries of almost every genre from jazz to rock to country and everything in between. Purdie's latest personal album, "Soul to Jazz" is considered years ahead of its time.

The Miami Jazz Workshop will take place on Sunday, October 25th at Actors' Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre with a Master class at 11:00 a.m. and the Concert featuring Purdie at 6:00 p.m. Tickets for the Master class are $20.00 and Concert tickets are $25 per person. Tickets for the class and concert can be purchased online at www.instantseats.com.

Miami Jazz Party, a local group that strives to promote Jazz appreciation and awareness in South Florida since 2006, sponsors the event and Musicians Discount Center is a first time sponsor of The Miami Jazz Workshop.
