- Bernie "Woo Warrior" Worrell - The Master
I just finished watching this DVD; and I was not bored a second.
The DVD showcases musical genius Bernie Worrell , giving us a closer glance at the keyboard-wizard who brought us Flashlight and so many other classics.

More than learning about Bernie from the man himself, we are given an introspective on his life through longtime friends/collaborators such as George Clinton, Bootsy, David Byrne (Talking Heads), Mos Def, Will Callhaun, Bill Laswell and many others.

The DVD is fast-paced, not for a moment boring, as Bernie is seen in more-or-less intimate situation at the same time as he is discussed by others.
This from of documentary might seem odd, but I think it is very much in tune with what Bernie is: The Mystic, the Man at the River. Not a man that ... Read More

- Could've Been So Much More!!--But Kinda Dropped The Ball!
Now, being an almost life-long fan of the revolutionary,
innovative and now iconic Parliament / Funkadelic,
being first turned on to them at a very early age in
the early 70's by my mother and older cousins and buying
the records and attending the "P-Funk Earth Tour" as a teenager
during the height of their success in the mid to late 70's,
I dived at the chance to buy this DVD documentary about one of the baddest and most crucial musical alchemists of the last 50 years!!
---Bernie "Insurance Man" Worrell!!
Other than Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, YES, ELO,
and maybe a small handful of less important artists,
nobody has done more for electronic instrumentation or
the keyboard in general than Mr. Worrell!
He almost ... Read More

- could be better,but it's bernie so dig it!
pretty awesome for what it is!it would've been cool to have a pro dissect bernie's style,phrasing,etc,but what you get with this cd is still cool.the part where bernie gets the guy in the club for free as his guest was cool,and shows how much of a freindly guy he is.the dvd is more about bernie as a person than explaining his music intricately.

Rating:

- disappointing
I wish they would have let him speak a bit more and edit the live performance more reasonably. The film is too "artsy." I just want the facts and some music, but that is not what is here. A shame.

Rating:

- A true genius, but not entirely explained why that is.
Bernie Worrell had a profound impact on popular music. He is a genre innovator as well as a keyboard and synthesizer pioneer and probably changed the planet musically while remaining predominantly anonymous. This documentary testifies to this with numerous interviews by respected artists, musicians, and producers from across different styles and genres. What it fails to do is present exactly how and why he's so important. While the interviewees do their best to explain it, there's little footage that actually demonstrates him in action supporting this. It also needs to showcase the imitators. He's been copied and sampled a million times. Why weren't these examples presented?

I think the director assumed the viewer knew who Bernie is. I would have approached it from the opposite ... Read More
