    Mr. Worrell is a magician yet so modest - I admire how brave he is about experimenting. But I'm worried the crowd doesn't really understand what is happening. Also Old Bernie has more grove then any modern players I know - how beautiful - he keeps it all together and makes it flow - yet he is almost invisible - pure magic .

    Bernie Worrell is a classically trained pianist who was a child prodigy (at four he gave his first concert). By the time he was ten, Worrell had performed with the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington D.C.
    Parliament is from my hometown of Plainfield NJ, I went to highschool with Bernie's daughter and actually just ran into her at a store last night. Other legendary musicians consider Bernie a genius and he's been labeled the Jimi Hendrix of the keyboard.

    Bernie this is the baddest take I ever heard on "Mothership Connection" and the ensemble must have thought the mothership came down and really picked them up because they was on a spiritual level, everybody was digging in deep. I'm happy Berrnie to see you leading your own orchestra and wishing you much success.

    He was one helluva musician. light years ahead of his time. experimental and a total badass on the keyboard and the piano. I am more into the rock, hard rock and heavy metal, but I also listen to Talking Heads and Parliament-Funkadelic.
    I always had respect for this guy. Extremely hard to top!

      They are real people but white. First you are in shock, when the music takes you. It is a mind thing first. Then the logic hits you. Everyone is contributing equally to the flow. You can hear everyone making it funky, and it is a fine feeling. It looks like out of another galaxy till you realize it involve you to. Everybody can funk, just be real.
