ABOUT THE CONDUCTOR Cody Henry is an active trombonist in the St. Louis area.

He has performed with many notable musicians including Terrell Stafford, Conrad Herwig, Dave Steinmeyer, Jim Pugh, Dennis Mackrel, Clay Jenkins, Dave Bennett, Reggie Thomas, Patrick Sheridan, Jon-Erik Kellso, Vince Giordano, Terence Blanchard, Randy Brecker and Russell Gunn. For the last few years, Mr. Henry has been touring jazz festivals occasionally with Wally's Warehouse Waifs, a band that covers everything from traditional jazz to Rock and Roll. He has also performed with Motown legends such as The Temptations, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, and The Four Tops. Along with performing, Mr. Henry is an active jazz clinician, having contributed to the Jazz St. Louis program since 2008. He also lent his expertise to the Birch Creek Music Academy and the Jim Widner summer jazz camps. While attending SIUE, Mr. Henry has explored a niche in big band and small group arranging/composing. In recent years, he has also made himself "gig ready" on the euphonium and tuba and built up a large studio of low brass musicians all over the St. Louis area. Mr. Henry has made Godfrey, IL his home where he lives with his wife, Tami (also a trombonist!) his one-year old daughter, Zoe, and his dog, Basie.
