Henry Butler
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry Butler (born September 21, 1949) is an American jazz pianist.
Butler was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and is still based there. He is known for his prodigious technique and his ability to play in many styles of music. Referred to by Dr. John as "the pride of New Orleans", Henry Butler is his generation's representative in the Crescent City's unique lineage of piano legends such as Professor Longhair, James Booker, Tuts Washington, Jelly Roll Morton, etc.
Butler has recorded for several record labels, including Impulse Records, Windham Hill, and Basin Street Records.
Blinded by glaucoma since birth, Butler has not been stopped from pursuing photography as a hobby; some of his photos have been shown in galleries in New Orleans.
