    Even at 4 years old, never looks down at the keys once.

    This guy is the TRUE definition of a prodigy.. He not only had a gift at a young age, but cultivated his gift with the knowledge and expertise that it requires to continue to be great. I didn't really know this guy was a true musician and jazz virtuoso until I bought his album about a week ago.

    Cory could kill an organ before he could un-hesitantly count to 4

    Cory Henry = the Michael Jordan of the keyboard!
    I believe if Cory throws his shoe at the organ keyboard it would hit the right notes.

    I like what he said about listening to all types of music. That is how i developed my ear for music and of course with a lot of practice. Oscar Peterson was one of the first jazz pianist I heard growing up that I loved. He had all of those big chords I heard in my head.

      Cory Henry is absolutely one of the greatest musicians of our time point blank, not many have the natural grasp of the relationship btwn harmony and melody that he does. He could literally play an organ before he could count to 4. Playing organ is quite literally his second language
