Corey Henry Lapeitah [Slipcase]

The former leader of the Little Rascals Brass band turned favorite lead player for New Orleans jam band phenom Galactic, Corey Henry stepping out with Lapeitah, his national debut release from Louisiana Red Hot Records. Another outstanding Treme trombonist in the tradition of Trombone Shorty and Glen David Andrews, the Treme Funktet frontman is himself a brass band funk master with a rich pedigree that reads like a New Orleans royal coat of arms. With guest appearances from heavy hitters like Corey Glover from Living Colour and Greg Thomas from George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, the album's thrust lies in its ability to sweep from the broad, epic rock of Jimi Hendrix s 'If 6 Was 9,' to the timeless whoop and holler of the absolute new standard in second-line pride song found in 'Baby C mon,' with push-to-the-edge vocal from Cole Williams.
