Cory Henry and the Funk Apostles (Featuring B.Slade): Inner City Blues
This band is the definition of pocket. Cory Henry and the Funk Apostles, featuring bassist Sharay Reed, lay it down in this clip of them performing the classic Marvin Gaye hit, “Inner City Blues.”
Reed knows exactly how to follow Henry’s solos, building to huge heights and bringing it back down to a simmer. B. Slade joins toward the tail end of the song to preach a little more.
