A long time Bay Area musician, guitarist/composer Will
Bernard first came to prominence through his membership in
Peter Apfelbaum's Hieroglyphics Ensemble,
whose first record appeared in 1990. Since then he has been involved
with a host of boundary stretching groups, ranging from jazz, hip
hop and world music to experimental music, with many stops in between.
He has performed and recorded with Jai
Uttal and the Pagan Love Orchestra,
Peter Apfelbaum's various band incarnations,
Beth Custer, The Coup, and Midnight
Voices to name a few. The most successful of these projects
was the group T.J. Kirk (with Charlie
Hunter) whose 2nd record for Warner
Bros. "If Four Was One" was nominated for a Grammy
in 1997. Will released his debut CD as a leader, "Medicine
Hat", in 1998 on Verve/Antilles.
