Cory Henry

Cory (* 1987 in Brooklyn, NY) is jazz organist and pianist, gospel musician and music producer. As a child prodigy, Henry is said to have played the piano and organ by the age of two; at five years old they called him Master Henry in his church because he could play the Hammond organ with any song, in any key. At the age of six he made his debut at the Apollo Theater. He began his music career in 2006 touring with various mainstream and gospel artists including Yolanda Adams, Stanley Brown, Israel Houghton, P. Diddy, Kirk Franklin. Kenny Garrett brought him into his band. He has also worked with Donnie McClurkin, Boyz II Men, Michael McDonald, Bruce Springsteen, The Roots and many others. After a Christmas album Christmas with You (2010), he released Leave You Alone (2011) and Gotcha Now Doc (2012). From 2012 to 2018, Henry was a member of the jazz and funk ensemble Snarky Puppy, with which he won the 2014 Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance and both 2016 and 2017 Grammy Awards for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album.

In 2016, Henry released the gospel-infused live album The Revival under his own name. At the Frankfurt Jazz Festival in 2017, he met the hr big band. Henry left Snarky Puppy in 2018 to focus on his solo career and released Art of Love with his band The Funk Apostles. His 2020 solo album Something to Say is the first work produced exclusively by Henry and showcases his skills as a multi-instrumentalist. His album Best of Me followed in 2021. He can also be heard on albums by Jeremy Fisher, Nina Attal, Marcus Miller, David Crosby, Imagine Dragons and Marc E. Bassy.
