Bernard Wright
Bernard Wright (born 1963) is an American funk and jazz keyboardist born in Miami, Florida.
Wright was offered a slot touring with Lenny White when he was 13, and he played with Tom Browne at age 16.[1] GRP Records signed him in 1981 and released his debut LP, 'Nard, tracks from which have been prominently sampled by Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Skee-Lo among countless others. He followed with Funky Beat on Arista and Mr. Wright on EMI. The latter of these albums included his biggest R&B hit, "Who Do You Love" for which a video was made. Wright has also appeared on recordings by musicians such as Cameo, Bobby Brown, Pieces of a Dream, Charles Earland, Marcus Miller and Miles Davis.
Bernard Wright frequently sits in with the jazz players during The Amsterdam Bar's Bad Ass Jazz, every Monday night.
