Cory Henry: “1st Noel”

By: Jack Anderson

Christmas and jazz go together like Donner and Blitzen. And for former Snarky Puppy member Cory Henry, there’s no reason not to share his gifts during the holiday season. Having been introduced to keyboard and piano at the tender age of two, Henry’s exponentially growing talent made for a great addition to Snarky Puppy before leaving the group to pursue a solo career in 2018.

After dropping his sophomore solo album Something to Say on Halloween, Henry was clearly hankering for another holiday-oriented release and shared his seven-track Christmas With You last Friday. It’s a jazzy and soulful take on the genre delivered in a way only possible by Henry, and rest assured, these new singles will make a great addition to your digital stocking, especially “1st Noel”!
