Bernie Worrell's New Album To Be Released Tomorrow
. The album, titled 'Bernie Worrell: Standards', features Worrell alongside an all star line up of renowned musicians including Smokey Hormel on guitar, Melvin Gibbs on bass, JT Lewis on drums and Darryl Dixon on saxophone in addition to others. "Evan and I arranged the format of the songs and made charts for the rest of the band," says Worrell, a classically trained piano prodigy who studied jazz in between his classical studies at New England Conservatory of Music. "We changed some things in the process without getting too far away from the original ideas. We also took some ideas from the players because I like teamwork." Worrell breathes new life into the classic tunes on 'Standards', which were performed with a variety of approaches that fuse jazz, funk and bossa nova and contain underpinnings of his classical training. Worrell and Taylor used an all-analog production technique and recorded the tunes live to tape in an attempt to recreate the sonic quality of a classic jazz record.
