- **Event Name**: BB Jazz Festival: Stringbean Blues & Bernard "Pretty" Purdie
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 04 Feb, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Wed, 04 Feb, 2026 at 09:00 pm
- **Event Description**: New Jersey's own Ken Sorensen, better known as Stringbean Blues, is the undisputed "pre-eminent Bluesman of the Jersey Shore." This is not polite background music; this is the raw, gut-bucket sound of the Delta filtered through Asbury Park grit.

Expect pure, unadulterated Blues that will grab you by the collar and pull you onto the dance floor. With his projects like Stringbean and The Stalkers, Stringbean delivers blazing harmonica and acoustic guitar work, steeped in decades of tradition yet delivered with ferocious energy.

He's authentic, he's powerful, and he's going to make you feel every note.

Featuring Bernard "Pretty" Purdie: The King of the Beat
Sharing the stage is a true titan of music: Bernard "Pretty" Purdie: the world's most-recorded drummer and an essential architect of R&amp;B, soul, funk, and jazz. Prepare to witness the rhythm that defined an era. Purdie is the creator of the legendary "Purdie Shuffle"—a syncopated half-time beat that has been sampled and imitated countless times (including by bands like Steely Dan and Toto).

Purdie’s hands have anchored thousands of sessions, providing the funkiest soul beat for icons like Aretha Franklin, James Brown, and Miles Davis. This is a rare chance to see a living piece of music history lay down an unforgettable, immaculately timed groove.
