The Heavyweights ft. Cory Henry, Eric Krasno & Robert "Sput" Searight

The Heavyweights is a jazz group heard in New York City at Brooklyn Bowl, including the bill “The Heavyweights ft. Cory Henry, Eric Krasno & Robert ‘Sput’ Searight.” The name also echoes a 1961 studio project led by saxophonist Sal Nistico, tying the band to a longer jazz lineage even as the current lineup operates in a live, collaborative setting.

Cory Henry is a jazz organist and pianist whose roots in gospel inform a direct, rhythm-forward approach. He came to wider attention through his work with Snarky Puppy before moving into a solo path, beginning with the independent release *Art of Love* and followed by projects including *Something to Say*.

Eric Krasno & Robert “Sput” Searight come together as a compact jazz unit shaped by two distinct careers: Krasno as a guitarist and bandleader rooted in groove-driven improvisation, and Searight as a drummer known for precision and elastic time.

In addition to his guitar playing in Soulive & Lettuce, Grammy-Winner Eric Krasno has established himself as an in-demand producer and songwriter.

Robert "Sput" Searight is a dynamic force in the jazz world, known for his electrifying performances that captivate audiences with their rhythm and spirit. Regularly gracing the stage at Brooklyn Bowl, Searight brings a palpable energy to New York City's vibrant music scene.
