This week on Fridays Live we continue to present highlights from the recent San Francisco Jazz Festival with keyboard and organ master, bandleader, composer, and former member of Snarky Puppy, Cory Henry. He performs an eclectic selection of music from across his career including material from his GRAMMY-nominated 2022 Culture Collective release, Operation Funk.

ABOUT CORY HENRY
A prodigious musician and Brooklyn native who began playing Hammond organ at the age of two, Henry performed at Harlem’s famed Apollo Theater as a six-year-old, while honing his musicianship in church. An established veteran by his teens, he branched out into secular music and quickly found a home as an in-demand instrumentalist, touring the world with saxophone giant Kenny Garrett by 19, and later working with Robert Glasper, Bruce Springsteen, The Roots, Frank Ocean, and Kirk Franklin.

Henry was a core member of bassist and bandleader Michael League’s funk juggernaut Snarky Puppy, winning three GRAMMY awards with them before striking out as a bandleader with the hard-driving Funk Apostles. With a style owing more to idols Oscar Peterson and Art Tatum than the typical Hammond organ heroes who preceded him, Cory Henry has captured the imagination of music fans of all stripes, creating an alchemy of gospel-inflected R&B, funk, jazz, and global influences that move the body and touch the soul.
