| Bernard "Pretty" Purdie was always an extraordinarily talented |
| musician, but as a bandleader and songwriter, he was inconsistent at |
| best. His version of the title cut, for instance, does little to |
| showcase his abilities, and adds nothing to the original other than |
| an irritating group of background singers. The rest of the album |
| follows suit, alternating interesting ideas with poorly conceived or |
| executed covers and arrangements. |
| |
| On the plus side, the few times Purdie's drumming is showcased |
| (especially on "Modern Jive"), it is as stellar as advertised, and |
| there are some truly inventive songs here. The standout cut has to be |
| the collaboration with Gil Scott-Heron, "Artificialness," which not |
| only shows off Purdie's drumming but also strips away all but the |
| bare minimum of instruments, making it one of the many possible |
| precursors to hip-hop. Still, such moments are few and far between |
| here. Stand by Me has some high points, but is not the place for |
| newcomers to discover Purdie's talents. |
