With a heavy guitar solo and spaced-out synth, legendary keyboardist and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Bernie Worrell adds a touch of Funk fusion to Paul Desmond's Jazz standard on his 2011 cover of "Take Five". This cover is from Bernie's album titled "Bernie Worrell: Standards" released on June 7, 2011 on Scufflin' Records. This eighth solo album for Worrell is an album of jazz standards which features Worrell alongside all stars including Smokey Hormel on guitar, Melvin Gibbs on bass, JT Lewis on drums and Darryl Dixon on saxophone and others. The founding member and musical director of original Parliament Funkadelic band continues to bring the funk and show musical range in 2011 and beyond.
