After working with P-Funk and the Talking Heads, Mr. Worrell was in demand across the musical spectrum. He worked with the producer Bill Laswell on funk, jazz, African and avant-garde music, and with the bassist and songwriter Jack Bruce of Cream. He sat in with jam bands like Gov’t Mule, and, with Les Claypool of Primus and the guitarist Buckethead, formed the group Colonel Claypool’s Bucket of Bernie Brains.
