At nineteen he joined jazz legend alto saxophonist Kenny Garrett’s touring band as his organist. He released his own his debut album in 2010 and recently a celebrated solo album of tight, powerful fusion grooves called 'First Steps'. Henry has also worked with producer P. Diddy, Gospel artist Kirk Franklin, Robert Glasper, Lalah Hathway, Derrick Hodge, Donnie McClurkin, Michael McDonald, Boyz II Men, rapper Nas, The Roots, Betty Wright and of course Grammy winning Snarky Puppy with whom he is currently touring. Cory’s solos for Snarky Puppy are legendary, jaw dropping moments of energetic inspiration and soul.
