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”!

Tess Clare: “Anemoia”

Last time we checked in with L.A.’s Tess Clare, we were talking about wanting more and the restlessness of sitting still for too long. Now, we’re reveling in anemoia, a feeling of nostalgia for a time or place we’ve never experienced ourselves. Like elder Gen Z-ers yearning for that night in 1991 when Nickelodeon premiered […]
