Rising tenor saxman Hiruy “Henry” Tirfe took
a break from touring with Patti LaBelle to sit
in on several sessions and front his own
group. Just a few years out of music school,
he has already made a name for himself
playing with The Roots, Joey DeFrancesco,
Solange Knowles, Eric Roberson, Robin
Eubanks, and Wyclef Jean, among many
others. Making an appearance with Tirfe’s
group was Chill Moody, a rapper from Philly
who is increasingly making a name for
himself on the national stage. Tirfe and his
group crafted high-energy, expertly
executed improv jams that gave a taste of
why he is in high demand. His debut record
“10,000” Hours” is set to be released in late
2019.

Tirfe is pictured with jazz and classically
trained accomplished pianist, producer,
songwriter, and composer Eric Wortham II.
