A Member Of GRAMMY-winning Snarky Puppy - "Keyboard Whiz" (NPR Music) Cory Henry Crafts Tribute To His First Love – The Hammond Organ - On New Album/DVD 'The Revival.' The First Of Two 2016 Solo Albums Coming Via GroundUP Music/Universal Music Classics. Cory Henry has been playing the Hammond B-3 organ since he was two years old and on The Revival, he has crafted a tribute that shows where the instrument has been and where it can be taken in his monumentally talented hands. Filmed and recorded in Henry's native Brooklyn at the Greater Temple of Praise, The Revival finds Henry taking the organ across multiple genres – gospel, R&B, jazz, soul – in a performance that needs to be seen as much as heard.  Snarky Puppy band mate Michael League calls The Revival "a master class for the organ."
