More Information
An expansive guitarist with a bent toward funk and avant-garde jazz, Berkeley native Will Bernard first came to prominence as a member of Peter Apfelbaum's world music and jazz-oriented Hieroglyphics Ensemble in the late '80s. Although Bernard has continued to record with Apfelbaum, the ever-reaching guitarist has also found himself working with artists from a variety of genres, including the hip-hop group the Coup, New Orleans funkster drummer Stanton Moore, and world/new age bandleader Jai Uttal. Now he has teamed up with B-3 master Wil Blades and New Orleans drummer Simon Lott to bring us the Will Bernard Trio. Dan Ouellette of Billboard states, "Will Bernard is one of the best-kept jazz-guitar secrets on the planet," and this trio is living proof of that! |
