At just fourteen, Leo Nocentelli was already making waves, performing alongside legends like Otis Redding. His journey led him to contribute to hits from Lee Dorsey, The Supremes, and The Temptations. As a founding member of The Meters, Leo crafted unforgettable tracks like ‘Cissy Strut’ and ‘Hey Pocky A-Way.’ Yet, his most personal work remained hidden until now…
‘Another Side’ was recorded in the early ’70s at the iconic Cosimo Matassa’s Jazz City Studio in New Orleans, capturing Leo’s emotional depth in a blend of funky folk and raw authenticity. Imagine the vibes of Bill Withers and James Taylor colliding with Allen Toussaint’s soulful genius. This previously unreleased album features an all-star lineup, including Allen Toussaint on piano, James Black on drums, and both George Porter Jr. and Zigaboo Modeliste from The Meters.
Boasting nine original tracks along with a heartfelt rendition of Elton John’s ‘Your Song,’ these recordings have weathered time, remaining as vibrant today as they were at their inception. Remarkably, this album, which could have easily been a classic in the ’70s, survived Hurricane Katrina and was rediscovered 2,000 miles away by record collector Mike Nishita in 2018. Don’t miss your chance to own this unique piece of music history.
