ASHLEY HENRY is one of a new generation of musicians raised with a wide range of influences, including such luminaries as Kenny Kirkland, Robert Glasper, Jason Moran, and J Dilla, yet also steeped in the traditional sounds of masters like Hancock and Monk.
As well as performing regularly with some of the UK’s leading jazz musicians such as Gary Crosby, Jean Toussaint, Shane Forbes, Jay Phelps, and award-winning saxophonist Krzysztof Urbanski, Ashley has also recorded extensively with award-winning hip-hop group ‘The Mouse Outfit’, a collective of musicians and producers based in Manchester.
Ashley’s trio are clearly influenced by hip-hop but have their roots firmly rooted in jazz – this is the next generation putting their feet down and flexing their muscles.
