"Mercy, Mercy, Mercy, by Bill Warfield and the Hell's Kitchen Funk Orchestra on BluJazz
Thanks for your support. After years of big band releases, check out the first release by Bill Warfield on the BluJazz label. "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" by the Hell's Kitchen Funk Orchestra was released on May 25th. Look for it on CD Baby within the next week. I am very excited to get back to my RB/Funk band roots with this new release. Look at it as a combination of Tower of Power and Mid-60s Miles. I know, I have trouble with that imagery myself. The 8 of us have put together a recording that starts with Zawinul's "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" and ends up with Benny Golson's "Whisper Not". In between we have funky and latin-based improvisational sketches of tunes by The Stylistics, the Ohio Players, Fats Waller, Tito Puente, the Brecker Bros., Eddie Harris and others. Very eclectic, very accessible, very satisfying. Check it out. Thanks, Bill
