    Cory Henry lives in a world of harmony that nobody else goes to

      Only white people do not know the world of harmony where Cory Henry dwells. Black churches and Black musicians have been playing like this for centuries. Check out the Harlem Renaissance, Oscar Peterson, Theolonius Monk, Herbie Hancock, and many many others.

    I love how even in the most random
    Of imrpovisations infront of kids in a school, he pulls out this. Straight up one of the more heartfelt and beautiful versions of autumn leaves that i have ever heard. Probably the most covered and “cliche” jazz song out there, but he played it with a breath of fresh air. Cory is a generational phenomenon.

      He announced he changed the sound by accident. It’s some sort of digital piano. He must’ve fat fingered a key and hit a button on the console, I’m guessing. You can hear it gets quieter and has more reverb until he changes it back.
