Mandrill

Funk icons Mandrill are in town to perform at the Mann Center on Saturday and the cameras will be rolling when they meet up on "The Bridge" at WRTI with J Michael Harrison on Friday at 10:30 PM. Mandrill is known worldwide, having performed alongside everyone from George Clinton and War to Duke Ellington and Miles Davis. Mandrill has been heavily sampled in the hip-hop canon, forming the basis of hits by Public Enemy, Cypress Hill, Kanye West, Black Eyed Peas and the Jungle Brothers. A rush episode of Philly Jazz will interrupt your regularly scheduled programming, featuring a chat with Mandrill vocalist, saxophonist, and heart surgeon Dr. Ric Wilson when he was last at WRTI in May, plus clips from the new Mandrill DVD.
