\"coreyHenry\"<\/a>BIO<\/strong><\/p>\n

Born in July 1975, Henry grew up on Barracks Street just down from Little People\u2019s Club, a now shuttered popularized spot for second line parade stops in the Treme. Henry was the third child born to a family of five boys and two girls. His grandfather Chester Jones played bass drum in a traditional jazz band at Preservation Hall. His uncle is Bennie Jones of the world renowned Treme Brass Band. \u201cBeing in Treme was my biggest inspiration, being around all that music at once. We always had brass bands playing \u2013 the Pinstripes, Olympia, the Dirty Dozen. I\u2019d go outside and they\u2019d be playing a party or doing a second line. I got inspired by that and of course it\u2019s in my family, my uncle and grandfather.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a result of this unique environment, Henry didn\u2019t learn his craft in the school band the way many other brass band musicians in New Orleans learn. Treme was his music classroom; family members and neighbors on every block were his teachers. \u201cI always had people like Tuba Fats giving me tips on what I needed to do during gigs; Freddie Kemp, sax player with Fats Domino; also Stack Man, Frederick Shepard, Roderick Lewis. They all lived in the neighborhood and played with the Treme Brass Band.<\/p>\n

Henry started on the snare drum but switched over to the trombone at the age of 10. When he turned 16, his uncle Bennie hired him to play with the Treme Brass Band. \u201cHe just threw me in the mix with all those bad musicians, said \u2018This is how you gon\u2019 learn. Just go for it.\u2019 So I learned doing it live, not during rehearsals. It was like learning on the job.\u201d Showing him the ropes along with his uncle was trumpeter Kermit Ruffins. \u201cThey put me with a lot of musicians who were phenomenal, taught me a lot about stage presence, how to conduct yourself, coming to gigs on time.\u201d He counts legendary trombonists Keith \u2018Wolf\u2019 Anderson and Revert Andrews as mentors who helped him develop his unique sound. \u201cIt was these two different musicians showing me things and me listening and practicing and just researching, being hungry and eager to learn.\u201d<\/p>\n

With \u201cLapeitah,\u201d his national debut from Louisiana Red Hot Records, Henry reveals a signature playing style with the capacity to lead a band with its own muscular voice, his trombone blasting through the crowd like a fast-coming train, charging audiences with fire and excitement.<\/p>\n
