Sekou Bunch - Sekou (1991) 24-Bit/96-kHz Vinyl Rip

Musician, composer and sometimes actor Sekou Bunch was born and raised in New York in a home filled with music. At the age of 14 Bunch realized his destiny as a musician and started playing the electric bass. Prior to this he had gained public acclaim as a commercial artist and break dancer. In fact, Bunch is considered one of the pioneers of break dancing. With the tutelage of his uncle, Ralph Bunch, Bunch began playing local gigs and jam sessions. Bunch then teamed with GRP artist, Tom Browne. At 17, he performed with Browne on the best selling funk classic LP Funkin for Jamaica and was awarded his first RIAA Certified Gold Record. He co-wrote with Browne the hit “Thighs High."
Eventually Bunch moved to Los Angeles and met the late George Howard. He toured and recorded a host of records with Howard. For many years Bunch performed and served as occasional musical director for The Isley Brothers. He then became a member of Quincy Jones' “A Team" along with session greats John Robinson, Gregg Phillinganes and Paul Jackson Jr. Sekou Bunch hasn't stopped since as an A-list session and touring musician.
Bunch's credentials gained over his career are impressive. He has shared the stage and or recording studio with such artists as Quincy Jones, Rod Stewart, Stevie Wonder, Roger Daltry, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Luther Vandross, The Isley Brothers, Roberta Flack, Envogue, Anita Baker, Ray Charles, Chaka Khan, George Benson, Wayne Shorter, Marc Anthony, George Howard, Tom Browne, Lionel Richie, the Tonight Show Band, Kirk Whalum, Kevin Toney, Najee, Paul Jackson Jr. and Will Downing…just to name just a few.
