J. Henry: The Long Time Coming (2010)

Journell Henry aka J. Henry, hails from the Jazz Capital of the world, New Orleans. This Crescent City native has been dazzling audiences across the U.S. for the last 20 years. Known by his gift for music since he was 9, J. studied under the mentorship of New Orleans Jazz Great Pierre Poree and Brian Graber, formerly of the Glenn Miller Orchestra. Katrina brought Journell to Atlanta, where he continued to expand and almost 2 years of writing and production, the appropriately entitled debut album, “Long Time Coming” is available.
Taking an opportunity to expand beyond simply being an artist, Journell and his equally talented twin brother Cardell created J. Henry Enterprises under which their band J. Henry & Company was formed in February 2009, which consists of 5 musicians and 3 vocalists. Of which, Cardell aka “Creole King” is a vocalist and Daron Steward (cousin of Rock Legend Sly Stone) is the producer and music director.
His live performances are mesmorizing and the energy and emotion that he puts into every performance draws the audience into an incredible love story and to a return of the original live music experience. Currently Journell resides in Atlanta and is working towards positioning his brand of smooth jazz through his own independent record label, Underground Sounds Entertainment.
