He has appeared on recordings by Bob Dylan, Robbie Robertson, Edie Brickell, Willie Nelson, Dr. John and The New Orleans Social Club among others. Neville wrote an article for the December 16, 2005 edition of CounterPunch, [1] titled “Why I’m Not Going Back To New Orleans” and was featured in the 2006 documentary film New Orleans Music in Exile. After Hurricane Katrina he moved to Austin, Texas, but as of 2012 lives in Slidell, Louisiana. [citation needed] Soul Rebels Brass Band featured Neville as a special guest on their Rounder Records debut record, Unlock Your Mind, released on January 31, 2012. The Soul Rebels’ name was conceived by Neville at the New Orleans venue Tipitina’s, where the band was opening. In 2005, Neville joined up with Tab Benoit for the Voice of the Wetlands Allstars to bring awareness to Louisiana’s rapid loss of wetlands along the Gulf Coast. The band also features Waylon Thibodeaux, Johnny Sansone, Anders Osborne, Monk Boudreaux, George Porter, Jr. Johnny Vidacovich, and Dr. The band has become a main feature at the annual New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. In 2010, Neville joined popular New Orleans funk band Galactic. He put aside his solo career to tour internationally with the band.

They were also nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance for the album Valence Street. In 2014, Neville (as a solo) was nominated for a Blues Music Award in the’Contemporary Blues Album of the Year’ category for his album Magic Honey. Would I go back to live? And the situation for musicians was a joke. People thought there was a New Orleans music scene – there wasn’t. You worked two times a year: Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest. The only musicians I knew who made a living playing music in New Orleans were Kermit Ruffins and Pete Fountain. Everyone else had to have a day job or go on tour. I have worked more in two months in Austin than I worked in two years in New Orleans. A lot of things about life in New Orleans were a myth. I lived in the Gentilly neighborhood. I cannot live under 6 feet of water. In the 9th Ward and Gentilly they are going to do mass buyouts, bulldoze everything and make it green space. In my estimation, those are golf courses and other places where African-American people won’t be welcome. There’s nothing wrong with my house except that water destroyed everything we had in it. The foundation is fine. The house is still there. Same thing with our neighbors. So what are they talking bulldozing? For a lot of us, the storm is still happening. Up until the storm, Aaron, myself, Art and Kermit Ruffins were some of the only musicians who had’made it’ who were still living in New Orleans. Now you got cats that come down there every now and then to be king of a parade or whatever. They couldn’t find helicopters to get people off of roofs, but they found helicopters to bring certain people in for photo ops. I’m not mad at anybody, but at the same time we put a lot into that city and never got what I think we should have got out of it. Now I’ve landed in Austin. New Orleans and Austin musicians have had an affinity for each other’s groove for a long time, going back to my days with the Meters when we played Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin. On any given night we would end up with five or six guitar players onstage with us, be it the Winter brothers [Edgar and Johnny] or the Vaughan brothers. Gaynielle Neville and I now appear in a weekly Tuesday set called “New Orleans Cookin’ & Jukin’ ” at Threadgill’s in Austin. Gaynielle cooks red beans and gumbo, and we perform with their group Tribe 13, which includes Austin vocalist Papa Mali. The way we have been accepted in Austin is such a pleasant surprise, We were treated like family. I linked up with the Guthrie family about 18 months ago. I was looking for songs for an upcoming solo album and discovered the Native American rock band Blackfire. They had recorded Arlo’s Mean Things Are Happening in This World. That song jumped out at me, so I did my version. For years I have wondered how can I get in contact with Arlo and Willie Nelson – people who have the same kind of attitude and consciousness I have and who want to use their art the same way I’m trying to use mine. I got that consciousness from Woody Guthrie. People are talking to me, but some of the people I know went through much more than I did. There are 3,000 children missing in New Orleans. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children places the figure at 1,300. Hundreds of bodies are waiting to be identified. The people of New Orleans have been scattered to the four winds. Their lives were determined by people in Washington and Baton Rouge before the storm hit. The 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th Wards should have their own tourist commission. Build our own hotels and restaurants in those areas. The key is ownership. Then I would think about going back and living there. But we’re still practicing American democracy. How can we ever bring it to somebody else? The Meters are an American funk band formed in 1965 in New Orleans by Zigaboo Modeliste (drums), George Porter Jr. (bass), Leo Nocentelli (guitar) and Art Neville (keyboards). The band performed and recorded their own music from the late 1960s until 1977 and played an influential role as backing musicians for other artists, including Lee Dorsey, Robert Palmer, Dr. John, and Allen Toussaint. Their original songs “Cissy Strut” and “Look-Ka Py Py” are considered funk classics. While they rarely enjoyed significant mainstream success, they are considered originators of funk along with artists like James Brown, and their work is influential on many other bands, both their contemporaries and modern musicians. [2][3] Their sound is defined by a combination of tight melodic grooves and syncopated New Orleans “second line” rhythms under highly charged guitar and keyboard riffing. [4][5] The band has been nominated four times for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, most recently in 2017. [6] In 2018 the band was presented with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. The Meters/The Original Meters/The Meter Men. Art Neville, the group’s frontman, launched a solo career around the New Orleans area in the mid-1950s while still in high school. The Meters formed in 1965 with a line-up of keyboardist and vocalist Art Neville, guitarist Leo Nocentelli, bassist George Porter Jr. And drummer Joseph “Zigaboo” Modeliste. They were later joined by percussionist-vocalist Cyril Neville. The Meters became the house band for Allen Toussaint and his record label, Sansu Enterprises. In 1969 the Meters released “Sophisticated Cissy” and “Cissy Strut”, both major R&B chart hits. “Look-Ka Py Py” and “Chicken Strut” were their hits the following year. After a label shift in 1972, the Meters had difficulty returning to the charts, but they worked with Dr. John, Paul McCartney, King Biscuit Boy, Labelle, Robert Palmer and others. In 1975 Paul McCartney invited the Meters to play at the release party for his Venus and Mars album aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California. Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones was in attendance at the event and was greatly taken with the Meters and their sound. [2](p166)[9] The Rolling Stones invited the band to open for them on their Tour of the Americas’75 and Tour of Europe’76. [4] That same year, the Meters recorded one of their most successful albums, Fire on the Bayou. From 1976 to 77 they played in The Wild Tchoupitoulas with George and Amos Landry and The Neville Brothers. Art and Cyril Neville left the band in early 1977, but The Meters still appeared on Saturday Night Live on March 19, 1977, during the show’s second season. After the Nevilles’ departure, David Batiste Sr. Took over on keyboards while Willie West joined as the band’s lead singer. Porter left the group later that year and by 1980 The Meters had officially broken up. After the break-up, Neville continued his career as part of The Neville Brothers, Modeliste toured with Keith Richards and Ron Wood, while Nocentelli and Porter became in-demand session players and formed new bands. In 1989 Art Neville, George Porter Jr. And Leo Nocentelli reunited as The Meters, adding drummer Russell Batiste Jr. To replace Zigaboo Modeliste. Nocentelli left the group in 1994 and was replaced with guitarist Brian Stoltz, formerly of The Neville Brothers. The band was renamed The Funky Meters. They were referred to as “the Funky Meters” as early as 1989. They were billed as such when playing in a tiny venue called Benny’s Bar at Valence and Camp streets. The Funky Meters continued to play into the 2000s with Stoltz being replaced by Art Neville’s son, Ian Neville, from 2007 to 2011 while he went to pursue a solo career. In 2000 a big offer enticed all four original Meters to reunite for a one-night stand at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco; by this time Modeliste wanted to make the reunion a permanent one, but the other members and their management teams objected. [10] It wasn’t until Quint Davis, producer and director of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, got them to “put aside their differences and hammer out the details” and perform at the Festival in 2005. In June 2011 The Original Meters along with Allen Toussaint and Dr. John played the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. The six men performed Dr. The Original Meters also played a set at the 2011 Voodoo Experience in New Orleans. In late 2012, Zigaboo Modeliste, Leo Nocentelli, and George Porter Jr. Played concerts with Phish keyboardist Page McConnell under the name The Meter Men. [14] During his time off from Phish, Page McConnell has continued to play with Porter Jr. Nocentelli, and Modeliste under the moniker of The Meter Men since those shows in 2012. The Meter Men had performed 16 shows together as of spring 2015, with their third annual appearance as a late night act during New Orleans’ Jazz and Heritage Festival. [15][16] In 2014, during The Meter Men’s second appearance as a late night act during Jazzfest, the band performed at The Republic on April 26, 2014, after McConnell had headlined the NOLA Jazzfest at the New Orleans Fairgrounds with Phish earlier that day. [17][18] The Meter Men had also played the previous night at The Republic. [19] The states The Meter Men had appeared in as of spring 2015 were Massachusetts, New York, Florida, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Colorado, and Vermont, with one other performance in Washington, D. As of 2017, The Funky Meters tour consistently performing songs by The Meters, while The Meters perform sporadically. The lineup of Neville, Porter, Nocentelli and Modeliste typically bill themselves as The Original Meters to avoid confusion with The Funky Meters. When not performing with The Original Meters, guitarist Leo Nocentelli leads his own group, The Meters Experience, which also performs the music of The Meters. As of 2018, the most recent performance of the original Meters (with all four of the founding members) took place at the Arroyo Seco Festival in Pasadena, California on June 25, 2017. The song “They All Ask’d for You” from the 1975 album Fire on the Bayou remains popular in the New Orleans region and is the unofficial theme song of the Audubon Zoo.

According to Brian Knight of The Vermont Review, In a sense, the Meters defined the basic characteristics of the groove. While Funkadelic, Cameo, James Brown and Sly Stone are synonymous with funk, these artists look to the Meters for the basic-down to earthy and raw sound. “[32] Music critique Robert Christgau called the band “totally original and placed the compilation album Funkify Your Life: The Meters Anthology on his list of top six New Orleans classics. The Meters’ music has been sampled by musicians around the world, including rap artists Heavy D, LL Cool J and Queen Latifah, Musiq, Big Daddy Kane, Run-DMC, N. A, Ice Cube, Scarface, Cypress Hill, EPMD, Public Enemy, A Tribe Called Quest, Beastie Boys, Naughty by Nature, and Tweet. Red Hot Chili Peppers covered the Meters’ song “Africa”, renamed “Hollywood (Africa)”, on their 1985 album Freaky Styley. The eclectic jazz-fusion guitarist Oz Noy has recorded his version of “Cissy Strut” twice. Bands such as the Grateful Dead, [36] KVHW, Steve Kimock Band, Widespread Panic, [37] Rebirth Brass Band, Galactic, Jaco Pastorius and The String Cheese Incident[38] have performed songs by The Meters in their concert rotations. The Meters’ songs have been used in the films Two Can Play That Game, Jackie Brown, Drumline, Hancock, Calendar Girls, Hitch, Red, The Best of Enemies, The Kitchen, Beerfest and Another Round. [39] The band’s songs were also featured in the television shows The Wire, Ballers and Disjointed as well as the video game Grand Theft Auto IV. In 1970, The Meters were named Best Rhythm and Blues Instrumental Group by both Billboard and Record World magazines. The Meters have been nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame four times since becoming eligible in 1994: 1996, 2012, 2013 and 2017. And The Meters were recipients of the Lifetime Achievement Award at the second annual Jammy Awards in 2001. In 2011, the iconic Meters’ song “Cissy Strut” was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2013, The Meters received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Big Easy Music Awards. The band was featured on the 2017 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival’s commemorative poster. In January 2018, The Meters were honored with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. The Neville Brothers were an American R&B/soul/funk group, formed in 1977 in New Orleans, Louisiana. 1941, and Cyril b. 1948 came together to take part in the recording session of the Wild Tchoupitoulas, a Mardi Gras Indian group led by the Nevilles’ uncle, George Landry (“Big Chief Jolly”). Their debut album The Neville Brothers was released in 1978 on Capitol Records. In 1987, the group released Uptown on the EMI label, featuring guests including Branford Marsalis, Keith Richards, and Carlos Santana. The following year saw the release of Yellow Moon from A&M Records produced by Daniel Lanois. The track “Healing Chant” from that album won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance at the 1990 Grammy ceremony. In 1990, the Neville Brothers contributed “In the Still of the Night” to the AIDS benefit album Red Hot + Blue produced by the Red Hot Organization. Also in 1990, they appeared on the bill at that year’s Glastonbury Festival. [5] Due to Art Neville devoting more time to his other act, The Meters, the band kept a low profile in the late 1990s onto the early 2000s. They made a comeback in 2004, however, with the album, Walkin’ in the Shadow of Life, on Back Porch Records, their first newly recorded effort in five years. All brothers except Charles, a Massachusetts resident, had been living in New Orleans, but following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 Cyril and Aaron moved out of the city. Infrequently, Aaron’s son Ivan Neville (keyboards) and Art’s son Ian Neville (electric guitar), both of the band Dumpstaphunk, have played with the Neville Brothers. The final Neville Brothers studio album, titled Walkin’ in the Shadow of Life, was released in 2004. [9] The group formally disbanded in 2012 but reunited in 2015 for a farewell concert in New Orleans. Charles Neville died of pancreatic cancer on April 26, 2018, at the age of 79. On June 25, 2019, The New York Times Magazine listed the Neville Brothers among hundreds of artists whose material was reportedly destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire.

A GUEST CONTRACT FOR TODAY SHOW. SIGNED BY MUSIC LEGEND. ON 8.5X11 INCH PAPER. Charles Neville was an American R&B and jazz musician best known as part of The Neville Brothers. Known onstage as “Charlie the horn man”, his saxophone playing helped earn the group a Grammy Award for best pop instrumental performance. Charles Neville (December 28, 1938 – April 26, 2018) was an American R&B and jazz musician best known as part of The Neville Brothers. The second oldest of the four Neville brothers, Charles Neville was born in New Orleans on December 28, 1938 to Arthur Lanon Neville Sr. And Amelia (Landry) Neville and was raised in the Calliope housing project with his musical brothers, Art, Aaron, and Cyril. Their uncle, George “Big Chief Jolly” Landry, was lead singer of the Mardi Gras Indian group The Wild Tchoupitoulas. Charles left home when he was 15 to play saxophone with the Rabbit’s Foot Minstrel Show. When back in New Orleans, he played in the house band at the Dew Drop Inn. He served in the Navy from 1956 to 1958 and discovered the music scene on Beale Street while stationed in Memphis, Tennessee, later touring with B. King and Bobby (Blue) Bland. He joined the band of fellow New Orleanian Larry Williams, but his addiction to heroin landed him short jail terms for the shoplifting that sometimes supported his habit. He finally overcame his addictions in 1986. Beginning in 1963 he served three and a half years at Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola for possession of marijuana. He practiced in the prison music room with other incarcerated New Orleans musicians, notably pianist James Booker and drummer James Black. Moving to New York City after release from prison, he explored modern jazz and toured with Johnnie Taylor, Clarence Carter, and O. The blend of traditional and funk music on The Wild Tchoupitoulas album (1976) has made it an icon of New Orleans musical culture. Shortly afterward, the four brothers formed The Neville Brothers, recording more than a dozen albums and building a worldwide following. For years they were the closing act on the main stage of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. He moved to rural Massachusetts in the 1990s with his wife, Kristin Neville, and children and continued to perform and record with family members and a wide variety of musicians for the rest of his life. His recordings include an album with the groups Diversity, with jazz and classical musicians, and Songcatchers, with Native American musicians. In 2008 he released his own album, reflecting his interests in Eastern spirituality, Safe in Buddha’s Palm. He also performed with two of his sons, Talyn and Khalif, as the New England Nevilles. After 2012 he toured with Aaron Neville’s solo band and appeared with him for Aaron’s first performance at the French Quarter Festival in 2017. Charles’s last Jazz Fest performance was with Dr. He was scheduled to join in “The Neville Family Groove”, a musical celebration of the Nevilles at Tipitina’s in November 2017, but was by then hospitalized with pancreatic cancer, from which he died on April 26, 2018 at the age of 79 years old.

Charles Neville, the saxophonist in New Orleans’s most celebrated band, the Neville Brothers, died on Friday at his home in Huntington, Mass. His family announced his death, of pancreatic cancer, in an online statement. On Facebook, his brother and bandmate Aaron Neville, wrote, You’ll always be in my heart and soul, like a tattoo. The Neville Brothers gathered New Orleans’s abundant musical heritage and carried it forward. Art, Aaron, Charles and Cyril Neville formed their band in 1977 and maintained it, amid other projects, until disbanding in 2012. They reunited for a farewell concert in New Orleans in 2015. The group melded rhythm and blues, gospel, doo-wop, rock, blues, soul, jazz, funk and New Orleans’s own parade and Mardi Gras rhythms, in songs that mingled a party spirit with social consciousness. Charles Neville – who usually performed in a beret and a tie-dyed shirt, with an irrepressible smile – was the band’s jazz facet, reflecting his decades of experience before the Neville Brothers got started. His soprano saxophone was upfront on the Nevilles’ “Healing Chant, ” which won a Grammy Award as best pop instrumental in 1990. The Neville Brothers on a visit to New York City in 1989. From left, Cyril, Art, Charles and Aaron. Charles Neville was born in New Orleans on Dec. 28, 1938, the second of the four sons of Arthur Lanon Neville Sr. And Amelia Neville, formerly Landry. At 15, Charles left home to play saxophone with the Rabbit’s Foot Minstrel Show. He went on to work with blues and R&B singers, including Larry Wiliams, Johnny Ace, Big Maybelle, Jimmy Reed and Little Walter. Back in New Orleans, he was a member of the house band at the Dew Drop Inn, working with local and visiting stars. After serving in the Navy from 1956 to 1958, stationed in Memphis, he went on to tour with B. Neville began using heroin in the 1950s, sometimes shoplifting to support his drug use and serving short jail terms. It was a habit he would not completely overcome until 1986. He was arrested on charges of possession of marijuana in 1963 and imprisoned for three and a half years at the Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola. He stayed in practice by playing with other jailed musicians, including the great New Orleans pianist James Booker. Upon his release he moved to New York City. He became involved in modern jazz and toured with soul singers like Johnnie Taylor, Clarence Carter and O. Big Chief Jolly into the studio with a band featuring his nephews, the four Neville brothers. The album’s fusion of traditional street chants and funk made it a cornerstone of modern New Orleans music. The brothers decided to keep working together. In New Orleans, the Neville Brothers were a supergroup. Art Neville had sung the 1954 hit “Mardi Gras Mambo” and in 1969 formed the influential New Orleans funk band the Meters, which Cyril Neville later joined. Aaron Neville had a Top 10 pop hit in 1966 with Tell It Like It Is. The brothers brought their old repertoires and a growing new one to their concerts, gaining nationwide and worldwide followings on tour. They were the perennial finale on the main stage at the annual New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and played New Year’s Eve shows at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco. The Neville Brothers recorded more than a dozen studio and live albums, although the only one to sell as many as a half-million copies was “Yellow Moon” (1989). A Rap Song Lays Bare Israel’s Jewish-Arab Fracture – and Goes Viral. Brilliance, and Heartbreak: The Story of Chris Paul’s Career. The Riddle of Riley Keough. Continue reading the main story. Neville also recorded with Diversity, a group mixing jazz and classical musicians, and with Native American musicians in the group Songcatchers. He released an album as a leader, “Safe in Buddha’s Palm” – the title reflected his longtime interest in Eastern philosophies – in 2008. In the 1990s he moved to rural Massachusetts, and he performed with his sons, Khalif and Talyn, as the New England Nevilles. Failing health prevented him from joining a Neville family reunion concert in 2017. In addition to his three brothers, he is survived by his wife, Kristin Neville; his sister, Althelgra Neville Gabriel; and his children – Charmaine, Khalif, Talyn, Charlotte, Carlos and Charles Neville; Charlene White, Rowena Alix and Charlestine Jones – as well as numerous grandchildren. Nt to use their art the same way I’m trying to use mine. I got that consciousness from Woody Guthrie. People are talking to me, but some of the people I know went through much more than I did. There are 3,000 children missing in New Orleans. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children places the figure at 1,300. Hundreds of bodies are waiting to be identified. The people of New Orleans have been scattered to the four winds. Their lives were determined by people in Washington and Baton Rouge before the storm hit. The 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th Wards should have their own tourist commission. Build our own hotels and restaurants in those areas. The key is ownership. Then I would think about going back and living there. But we’re still practicing American democracy. How can we ever bring it to somebody else? The Meters are an American funk band formed in 1965 in New Orleans by Zigaboo Modeliste (drums), George Porter Jr. (bass), Leo Nocentelli (guitar) and Art Neville (keyboards). The band performed and recorded their own music from the late 1960s until 1977 and played an influential role as backing musicians for other artists, including Lee Dorsey, Robert Palmer, Dr. John, and Allen Toussaint. Their original songs “Cissy Strut” and “Look-Ka Py Py” are considered funk classics. While they rarely enjoyed significant mainstream success, they are considered originators of funk along with artists like James Brown, and their work is influential on many other bands, both their contemporaries and modern musicians. [2][3] Their sound is defined by a combination of tight melodic grooves and syncopated New Orleans “second line” rhythms under highly charged guitar and keyboard riffing. [4][5] The band has been nominated four times for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, most recently in 2017. [6] In 2018 the band was presented with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. The Meters/The Original Meters/The Meter Men. Art Neville, the group’s frontman, launched a solo career around the New Orleans area in the mid-1950s while still in high school. The Meters formed in 1965 with a line-up of keyboardist and vocalist Art Neville, guitarist Leo Nocentelli, bassist George Porter Jr. And drummer Joseph “Zigaboo” Modeliste. They were later joined by percussionist-vocalist Cyril Neville. The Meters became the house band for Allen Toussaint and his record label, Sansu Enterprises. In 1969 the Meters released “Sophisticated Cissy” and “Cissy Strut”, both major R&B chart hits. “Look-Ka Py Py” and “Chicken Strut” were their hits the following year. After a label shift in 1972, the Meters had difficulty returning to the charts, but they worked with Dr. John, Paul McCartney, King Biscuit Boy, Labelle, Robert Palmer and others. In 1975 Paul McCartney invited the Meters to play at the release party for his Venus and Mars album aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California. Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones was in attendance at the event and was greatly taken with the Meters and their sound. [2](p166)[9] The Rolling Stones invited the band to open for them on their Tour of the Americas’75 and Tour of Europe’76. [4] That same year, the Meters recorded one of their most successful albums, Fire on the Bayou. From 1976 to 77 they played in The Wild Tchoupitoulas with George and Amos Landry and The Neville Brothers. Art and Cyril Neville left the band in early 1977, but The Meters still appeared on Saturday Night Live on March 19, 1977, during the show’s second season. After the Nevilles’ departure, David Batiste Sr. Took over on keyboards while Willie West joined as the band’s lead singer. Porter left the group later that year and by 1980 The Meters had officially broken up. After the break-up, Neville continued his career as part of The Neville Brothers, Modeliste toured with Keith Richards and Ron Wood, while Nocentelli and Porter became in-demand session players and formed new bands. In 1989 Art Neville, George Porter Jr. And Leo Nocentelli reunited as The Meters, adding drummer Russell Batiste Jr. To replace Zigaboo Modeliste. Nocentelli left the group in 1994 and was replaced with guitarist Brian Stoltz, formerly of The Neville Brothers. The band was renamed The Funky Meters. They were referred to as “the Funky Meters” as early as 1989. They were billed as such when playing in a tiny venue called Benny’s Bar at Valence and Camp streets. The Funky Meters continued to play into the 2000s with Stoltz being replaced by Art Neville’s son, Ian Neville, from 2007 to 2011 while he went to pursue a solo career. In 2000 a big offer enticed all four original Meters to reunite for a one-night stand at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco; by this time Modeliste wanted to make the reunion a permanent one, but the other members and their management teams objected. [10] It wasn’t until Quint Davis, producer and director of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, got them to “put aside their differences and hammer out the details” and perform at the Festival in 2005. In June 2011 The Original Meters along with Allen Toussaint and Dr. John played the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. The six men performed Dr. The Original Meters also played a set at the 2011 Voodoo Experience in New Orleans. In late 2012, Zigaboo Modeliste, Leo Nocentelli, and George Porter Jr. Played concerts with Phish keyboardist Page McConnell under the name The Meter Men. [14] During his time off from Phish, Page McConnell has continued to play with Porter Jr. Nocentelli, and Modeliste under the moniker of The Meter Men since those shows in 2012. The Meter Men had performed 16 shows together as of spring 2015, with their third annual appearance as a late night act during New Orleans’ Jazz and Heritage Festival. [15][16] In 2014, during The Meter Men’s second appearance as a late night act during Jazzfest, the band performed at The Republic on April 26, 2014, after McConnell had headlined the NOLA Jazzfest at the New Orleans Fairgrounds with Phish earlier that day. [17][18] The Meter Men had also played the previous night at The Republic. [19] The states The Meter Men had appeared in as of spring 2015 were Massachusetts, New York, Florida, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Colorado, and Vermont, with one other performance in Washington, D. As of 2017, The Funky Meters tour consistently performing songs by The Meters, while The Meters perform sporadically. The lineup of Neville, Porter, Nocentelli and Modeliste typically bill themselves as The Original Meters to avoid confusion with The Funky Meters. When not performing with The Original Meters, guitarist Leo Nocentelli leads his own group, The Meters Experience, which also performs the music of The Meters. As of 2018, the most recent performance of the original Meters (with all four of the founding members) took place at the Arroyo Seco Festival in Pasadena, California on June 25, 2017. The song “They All Ask’d for You” from the 1975 album Fire on the Bayou remains popular in the New Orleans region and is the unofficial theme song of the Audubon Zoo.

According to Brian Knight of The Vermont Review, In a sense, the Meters defined the basic characteristics of the groove. While Funkadelic, Cameo, James Brown and Sly Stone are synonymous with funk, these artists look to the Meters for the basic-down to earthy and raw sound. “[32] Music critique Robert Christgau called the band “totally original and placed the compilation album Funkify Your Life: The Meters Anthology on his list of top six New Orleans classics. The Meters’ music has been sampled by musicians around the world, including rap artists Heavy D, LL Cool J and Queen Latifah, Musiq, Big Daddy Kane, Run-DMC, N. A, Ice Cube, Scarface, Cypress Hill, EPMD, Public Enemy, A Tribe Called Quest, Beastie Boys, Naughty by Nature, and Tweet. Red Hot Chili Peppers covered the Meters’ song “Africa”, renamed “Hollywood (Africa)”, on their 1985 album Freaky Styley. The eclectic jazz-fusion guitarist Oz Noy has recorded his version of “Cissy Strut” twice. Bands such as the Grateful Dead, [36] KVHW, Steve Kimock Band, Widespread Panic, [37] Rebirth Brass Band, Galactic, Jaco Pastorius and The String Cheese Incident[38] have performed songs by The Meters in their concert rotations. The Meters’ songs have been used in the films Two Can Play That Game, Jackie Brown, Drumline, Hancock, Calendar Girls, Hitch, Red, The Best of Enemies, The Kitchen, Beerfest and Another Round. [39] The band’s songs were also featured in the television shows The Wire, Ballers and Disjointed as well as the video game Grand Theft Auto IV. In 1970, The Meters were named Best Rhythm and Blues Instrumental Group by both Billboard and Record World magazines. The Meters have been nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame four times since becoming eligible in 1994: 1996, 2012, 2013 and 2017. And The Meters were recipients of the Lifetime Achievement Award at the second annual Jammy Awards in 2001. In 2011, the iconic Meters’ song “Cissy Strut” was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2013, The Meters received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Big Easy Music Awards. The band was featured on the 2017 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival’s commemorative poster. In January 2018, The Meters were honored with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. The Neville Brothers were an American R&B/soul/funk group, formed in 1977 in New Orleans, Louisiana. 1941, and Cyril b. 1948 came together to take part in the recording session of the Wild Tchoupitoulas, a Mardi Gras Indian group led by the Nevilles’ uncle, George Landry (“Big Chief Jolly”). Their debut album The Neville Brothers was released in 1978 on Capitol Records. In 1987, the group released Uptown on the EMI label, featuring guests including Branford Marsalis, Keith Richards, and Carlos Santana. The following year saw the release of Yellow Moon from A&M Records produced by Daniel Lanois. The track “Healing Chant” from that album won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance at the 1990 Grammy ceremony. In 1990, the Neville Brothers contributed “In the Still of the Night” to the AIDS benefit album Red Hot + Blue produced by the Red Hot Organization. Also in 1990, they appeared on the bill at that year’s Glastonbury Festival. [5] Due to Art Neville devoting more time to his other act, The Meters, the band kept a low profile in the late 1990s onto the early 2000s. They made a comeback in 2004, however, with the album, Walkin’ in the Shadow of Life, on Back Porch Records, their first newly recorded effort in five years. All brothers except Charles, a Massachusetts resident, had been living in New Orleans, but following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 Cyril and Aaron moved out of the city. Infrequently, Aaron’s son Ivan Neville (keyboards) and Art’s son Ian Neville (electric guitar), both of the band Dumpstaphunk, have played with the Neville Brothers. The final Neville Brothers studio album, titled Walkin’ in the Shadow of Life, was released in 2004. [9] The group formally disbanded in 2012 but reunited in 2015 for a farewell concert in New Orleans. Charles Neville died of pancreatic cancer on April 26, 2018, at the age of 79. On June 25, 2019, The New York Times Magazine listed the Neville Brothers among hundreds of artists whose material was reportedly destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire. Art Neville died on July 22, 2019, at the age of 81.
