http://bernieworrellorchestra.com - "Focus your ears on Bernie's playing and you'll hear a comprehensive sonic montage of a vibrantly creative spirit. His music is rife with wit, aggression, sensitivity and mischief, all of it interspersed in a tangential stream of consciousness. This is no series of contradctions, however; rather, these are the nuanced components of a man, all of them coalesced into an organic pastiche that is at once both delightfully whimsical and timelessly wise. There is an undeniably lyrical quality to his playing - not so much in any narrative sense as in the capacity to express feelings through his dexterous sound sculpture." - Larry Alexander

Keyboard Wizard (of WOO)!!

Bernie Worrell first came to prominence as a founding member and Musical Director of Parliament/Funkadelic. While this massively influential supergroup was radically altering the course of music, Bernie was radically charting the course of emerging keyboard technology during the golden age of analog synthesis. Among the key ingredients in his sonic stew were perfect pitch and a well-honed facility with the classical canon. 

In 1997, Worrell was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with Parliament/Funkadelic (Talking Heads would follow five years later). That same year, he launched his own group, Bernie Worrell and the WOO Warriors, which has performed all over the US and abroad to rave reviews. The in-concert energy of this ensemble has twice been captured on live albums: Bernie Worrell and the WOO Warriors Live (1998) and True DAT (2002).

Worrell's work has also continued to surface in other places. In 1993, when David Letterman moved his program to CBS, Worrell helped launch the CBS Orchestra with Paul Shaffer. He co-wrote the score for the cult classic, Car 54, Where Are You? and other films, including the Ice Cube vehicle, Friday. In 2003, his music was featured in the NBC television mini-series, Kingpin.

The "Wizard of WOO" continues to wear many hats as effortlessly as he mixes musical forms, performing with both Mos Def's Black Jack Johnson band and Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains.

2005 saw the release of Stranger: Bernie Worrell on Earth, a documentary film on the life of this master musician. And, between 2009 & 2010,  Worrell assembled his latest musical project, SociaLybrium.   SociaLybrium is comprised of Bernie on Keyboards, Melvin Gibbs on Bass, Ronny Drayton on Guitar and JT Lewis on drums…….a Rock/Funk/Jazz Fusion Feast!!!  To finish off 2010 with a bang, Bernie has just recently debuted another collaboration with guitar prodigy Wes Santo call WesN'Worrell.
