He took up piano and organ at the age of five under the influence of his father, pianist Dick Corn, and began playing jazz in high school.

The group is made up of Corn, playing organ and keyboard bass, Allee on keyboards, Corn's brother Greg on drums, and the late pianist Claude Sifferlen on vibes. They were augmented occasionally with David Young, an Indianapolis tenor sax player. Steve also leads the Corn Brothers Trio, with Greg on drums and Mark Radway on tenor sax.
