The Hell’s Kitchen Funk Orchestra is a group of jazz artists that facilitate and explore the bond that exists between musicians from many countries. Their latest CD is Mercy, Mercy, Mercy, released on the BluJazz Label. This CD is a celebration of the composer’s formative musical experiences. The Hell’s Kitchen Funk Orchestra performs compositions born of the genres of funk, contemporary and Latin Jazz while embracing the varied backgrounds and experiences of its members. Audiences are treated to high powered contemporary music that communicates, transcends and inspires.
Mercy, Mercy, Mercy is a return by Bill Warfield to his Rhythm and Blues/Funk roots. Most often known for Big Band and Jazz Orchestra recordings, Bill uses all of the modern harmonic and melodic elements found in his big band recordings and applies them to this rockin' new funk ensemble. Tunes as eclectic as Joe Zawinul's Mercy, Mercy, Mercy to Tito Puente's Fiesta a la King to Ohio Player's Fire to Benny Golson's beautiful Jazz standard, Whisper Not, make this set of music have something for everyone.
