Berkeley guitarist Will Bernard can't shake the funk
Berkeley guitarist Will Bernard can't shake the funk
Recent highlights:
1. His Freelance Subversives tour coincides with the release of his new album Pond Life, an expansive jazz trio session with bassist Chris Lightcap and drummer Ches Smith (joined on a few tracks by saxophonist Tim Berne and keyboardist John Medeski).
2. At the Freight he's joined by a bicoastal crew that includes East Bay electric bassist Victor Little and Berkeley percussionist Josh Jones, a close Bernard collaborator for more than three decades, dating back to their days as rhythm section partners in Peter Apfelbaum's Hieroglyphics Ensemble.
3. Despite a resume that encompasses klezmer and French café music, silent film scores, straight-ahead jazz and contemporary classical composition, Bernard is inextricably tied to a groove-centric sound
