Career Overview

About Tyler Henderson

Henderson's official biography traces his path from Oneonta to Houston's High School for the Performing and Visual Arts and then the Juilliard School in New York. It identifies him as a pianist working both as a sideman and as leader of a trio with Caleb Tobocman and Hank Allen-Barfield.[1]

The trio's debut, Love Endures, places Henderson's arrangements and compositions beside standards. Artist-authorized releases by Ilya Osachuk and Jacob Chung show the same pianist in a second studio trio and in a touring quartet recorded live in Vancouver.[2][3][4]
