Few bass players in the history of modern New Orleans music are as storied as George Porter, Jr.
Porter is best known as the bassist of The Meters, the group he formed in the mid-60s along with Art Neville, Leo Nocentelli and Joseph Zigaboo Modeliste. The group came to be recognized as one of the progenitors of funk, then called R&B.
Porter’s rhythmic work in the Meters in lockstep with drummer Zigaboo Modeliste was epic. Those pockets, the long notes and fat holes, provided the cushion for Leo Nocentelli or Art Neville to play or sing over and created some of R&B history’s most memorable grooves.
And now Porter and Runnin’ Pardners are bringing that legacy to the Avalon!
