Henry Solomon is an American saxophonist, composer, and music producer based in Los Angeles, California. Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, he has built a career spanning solo work, collaborative projects, and session work across jazz, pop, and experimental music, while becoming a driving force behind Los Angeles' constantly evolving musical identity.

Since the release of his first project Outside World with Logan Kane in 2018, Henry has developed an ever-growing catalog of solo and collaborative releases, including his self-released album Night Time Head Crunch, Buscando El Sol with David Binney and Mateo Ottonello, and his most recent project, Seeing Is Forgetting, a collaborative record with two-time Emmy-nominated composer Elori Saxl released on True Panther Records in February 2026.

While his early career was largely centered around session work and touring, Henry has begun to focus more on his own music in recent years, expanding into writing, production, and self-released projects. His work spans multiple formats, from live-recorded jazz compositions with his band Outside World to more ambient and textural material on Seeing Is Forgetting which was recorded in a single improvisational session, and mixed and mastered by GRAMMY Award-winning engineer David Darlington (Miles Davis, Whitney Houston, Herbie Hancock, Janet Jackson).

This July, Henry will be launching a label venture called Student, which will focus on unreleased material from his career, including never-before-heard live recordings, experimental side projects, and recordings from his Cafe Triste residency. The first album on Student is Henry's long-awaited Solo Woodwind album, consisting of nine compositions and arrangements using only woodwind instruments.

As a session musician, Henry has contributed his saxophone, flute, and clarinet work to albums like “This Is Why” by Paramore, “Women In Music Pt. III”, and “I quit” by HAIM, “Only God Was Above Us” by Vampire Weekend, “Something Beautiful” by Miley Cyrus, “Norma” by Mon Laferte, “Quality Over Opinion” by Louis Cole, “Peanut” by Otto Benson, “No Way To Relax When You're On Fire” by Dora Jar, “Your Day Will Come” by Chanel Beads, and many others. He also recorded Lisa Simpson's saxophone part for the Simpsons' Disney+ short “When Billie Met Lisa,” which featured Billie Eilish and Finneas, and produced Paul Cornish’s debut album on Blue Note Records.

Henry has toured extensively across the United States, Europe, and South America. Highlights include a European jazz festival run with the Louis Cole Big Band, touring with HAIM as an opener for Taylor Swift on The Eras Tour, a two-week solo run across Argentina and Uruguay with David Binney and extensive US and European touring with Thumpasaurus, including a guest performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. He also performed on Jimmy Kimmel with Miley Cyrus for her album “Something Beautiful.” Henry also recently performed with legendary Brazilian guitarist and composer Toninho Horta at the Lodge Room in Los Angeles. In May and June 2026, Henry will play a solo woodwind set opening for Rostam's American Stories tour.

In Los Angeles, Henry has also curated an ongoing residency at Cafe Triste, featuring guests ranging from 89-year-old jazz legend Roy McCurdy to songwriter Otto Benson and producer Dylan Wiggins.

Early exposure to a wide range of music — from country to funk, rock, pop, and jazz — led Henry to take piano lessons at age six before switching to saxophone at twelve. After attending Interlochen Arts Academy High School in Michigan, Henry moved to Los Angeles where he studied with Bob Mintzer, Vince Mendoza, Russ Ferrante, Ndugu Chancler, Aaron Serfaty, and Peter Erskine at USC.

In recent years, Henry has served as a guest artist and educator at the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln in Germany, and has taught at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague and the Stanford Jazz Workshop.

Rooted in classical jazz performance, Henry Solomon has flourished as a multifaceted artist, producer, and musical force, shaping the next chapter of Los Angeles' sonic lineage.
