What happens when you mix different people with
several different styles of music and a deep love to
create something unique? You get the band Henry Turner
Jr. & Flavor. A band whose unique style and presence
on stage has given them a special following in their
native Louisiana and now the world.
Henry Turner Jr. & Flavor started with Henry Turner
Jr. His first thought was to create a band whose music
would be appreciated by a large number of people and
musical markets. Mr. Turner wanted to create a
completely different kind of sound. Henry, who is also
the president of Hit City Records, has managed several
successful independent bands and artists. This, with
the love of music that started from an early age, has
allowed him to bring together a unique collection of
people.
Henry Turner Jr., lead vocalist and guitarist for the
band, is the driving force behind this band’s appeal.
Henry’s influence on the band comes somewhat from his
early musical influences. Blues and jazz greats like
B.B. King Bob Marley and George Benson have allowed
Henry to bring forth a unique perspective to the realm
of reggae. The style of the music, as quoted by Henry,
is “… an infused sound … also an infusion of R&B
/Reggae with some jazz chording.” This unique style
has allowed the band to go where other bands
cannot.
Jonathon “Boogie” Long, bassist and vocalist, the
newest member of the band, is proficient with a number
of instruments (piano, drums, trumpet, French horn,
sax, flute, clarinet, and mandolin) and has taught
lessons on them. “I started in music at the early age
of three. I received my first guitar for Christmas
that year. I messed with it every day but got really
serious around the age of 8 or 9 and knew right then
that music would be my career.” Finally falling in
love with the bass, Jonathon says “After spending so
many years on guitar when I picked up the bass it was
like a piece of silk in my hands. I knew right then
that although my main instrument would be guitar, the
bass would be the instrument I actually made something
of myself with.” Boogie enjoys Flavor’s, “unique style
of music and its intricate rhythms and beats.”
Jonathon considers part of his role in Flavor is “to
keep the reggae alive.”
Ronnie Houston, the senior member of the Flavor band,
is a profound R&B drummer. With various influences,
including artists such as Bobby Powell, James Brown,
Buddy Rich and Billy Cobham, Ronnie has toured the
United States and Europe since the early 1970s. Ronnie
has added an element of stability to the Flavor roster
since 1990.
