Hometown
New Orleans, LA, United States
Born
June 15, 1946
Genre
Southern Rock
Leo Nocentelli is an original member of the groundbreaking New Orleans funk group the Meters. The band, playing mostly instrumentals, stayed at the forefront of the music scene in the Big Easy and achieved national attention in large part due to his signature polyrhythmic guitar playing. He has since developed an idiosyncratic, vamp-centric style spanning blues, rock, rap, jazz, and funk, and has penned more than 200 songs including the iconic "Cissy Strut" and "Hey Pocky A-Way." Some of his tunes have been recorded by top-shelf artists including Joe Cocker, Etta James, Albert King, and George Duke. In 1971 Nocentelli cut a solo album at Cosimo Matassa's Jazz City Studio in New Orleans with the Meters' rhythm section and producer/keyboardist Allen Toussaint. It was shelved and thought lost for 50 years before Light in the Attic issued the primarily acoustic collection as Another Side in 2021.
