BernieWorrell.com – The Center of the WOOniverse : When the synthesizers came about, my having been brought up classically and knowing a full range of orchestra, tympanis and everything, I knew how it sounded and what it felt like. So, if I’m playing a horn arrangement on keyboard, or strings, it sounds like strings or horns, ’cause I know how to phrase it, how a string phrases, different attacks from the aperture for horns, trumpets, sax or trombones. – Bernie Worrell
The Bernie Worrell Orchestra : True funkateers know the history. From the fat Minimoog bass lines of Flash Light and One Nation Under A Groove to the percussive piano runs of Chocolate City and Give Up the Funk, Bernie Worrell is synonymous with the legacy of Parliament-Funkadelic; in fact, he’s one of the originators of the psychedelic funk sound,…
@last.fm : P Funk (referring to both bands) stopped touring in the early 1980s, and Worrell released several solo albums. Though he never officially joined Talking Heads, he was a de facto member of the group for most of the 80s, appearing on most of their albums and tours until they broke up in 1992.
