Worrell, Bernie
Pieces Of Woo: The Other Side (2lp)
Bernie Worrell (1944-2016) needs little introduction. He was an American keyboardist, arranger and composer best known
as a founding member of Parliament/Funkadelic and for his work with Talking Heads. The list of his musical
collaborations is extensive and includes renowned artists and acts from the likes of Manu Dibango, Fela Kuti, Jack
Bruce, Mike Watt and Les Claypool. Bernie Worrell's list of achievements is equally impressive: highlights include his
induction in as a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 and receiving an honorary Doctor of Music Degree from
the New England Conservatory of Music in 2016. Next to his important body of work with Parliament/Funkadelic Bernie
Worrell released several amazing solo albums that include classics such as 'All The Woo In The World' (1978), 'Funk Of
Ages' (1990) and of course 'Pieces Of Woo: The Other Side' (1993). This album was the iconic keyboardist's fourth solo
album, recorded and released in 1993. The album has an all star line up that includes several renowned artists from the
likes of Fred Wesley, Buckethead, Bill Laswell and Umar Bin Hassan (The Last Poets).
'The Other Side' is absolutely uncategorizable. Modal strains of jazz, avant-noise, poetry readings, heavy funk
overtones and Hammond organ-drenched experimental atmospheres give a lengthy and unique flavor to each song. The result
of this visionary approach is downright fascinating & Worrell's attitudes go way beyond the expected boundaries flanking
free-form jazz and funk_he transforms these recordings into a jaw-dropping, delightful adventure of unexplored and
unexpected sonic realms.
