Cory Henry and The Funk Apostles to open Black Sea Jazz Festival in Batumi

09.07.19 11:35


Grammy-winning songwriter and pianist Cory Henry and his fellow artists of The Funk Apostles will be the acts for the curtain-rising show of the Black Sea Jazz Festival in Georgia's coastline city of Batumi next week.

 

The widely acclaimed artist and band will arrive at the Batumi Tennis Club, tucked in the seaside boulevard of the city and transformed into a sunset location for jazz celebration every year, to lead the 13th edition of the event.

 

Bringing his keyboard talent to the Georgian event, Henry will look to delight listeners with a trademark show combining on-stage artistry and musical performance.

 

Winner of two Grammy Awards with the Snarky Puppy instrumental jazz-pop band, the R&B and soul performer traces his acquaintance with keyboard instruments to early childhood in Brooklyn, New York.

 

Organisers have also booked Incognito, a British band celebrating four decades of performing history, to close the festival in the city. Celebrating their legacy of popular jazz-funk chart recordings and remixes, the group will bring their anniversary programme to music enthusiasts.

 

This year's Black Sea Jazz Festival will run between July 18-20.
