A 38 ship
At the Buda side of the Petőfi bridge
The ex-guitarist hero of the Living Colour playing on the borders of jazz, funk and metal, a more times Grammy-awarded ingenious artist aboard the A38 with his new band and a brand new album.
Vernon Reid was born in England but spent most of his childhood in Brooklyn, New York, where he grew up listening to an electric variety of pop music ranging from Dionne Warwick’s hits to the Temptations “Psychedelic Shack”. At the age 15, inspired by the example of Carlos Santana, Vernon’s career as a guitarist began.
Vernon, who attended Brooklyn Tech, had the opportunity to study guitar privately with jazz masters Rodney Jones and Ted Dunbar.
In the early 1980’s while working with jazz drummer Ronald Shannon Jackson’s Decoding Society, Vernon’s reputation began to grow.
When Vernon was not busy mastering the harmolodic theories of Ornette Coleman as a guitarist of the Decoding Society, he spent his time gigging with a wide array of artists ranging from pop producer Kashif to the jazz- punk-dance band Defunkt.
