Additional information on venues and performances is available through the artist's official website.
Avery Sharpe is one of his generation's greatest and most imaginative bassists. His unique and versatile style has captured the respect and attention of musicians and critics, and his influence is mimicked and embodied by those who have followed him. The Great Jazz pianist McCoy Tyner was once asked to describe Avery Sharpe in two words, and his response was 'Impeccable Rhythm'. Avery continues to touch fans around the world with his distinct and enjoyable musical style.
The program, titled I Am My Neighbor's Keeper, highlights 'concern and compassion for each other,' intended to recognize common humanity at a time when there are deep divisions in the country.
Sharpe and collaborating musicians and artists will perform 10 compositions that will combine bass, voice, drums, piano, two violins, a cello, a percussionist and an African dancer into ten movements. The music will be laden with Jazz, Blues, Latin, African and Gospel idioms.
CDs are available on Amazon and other streaming websites.
Avery Sharpe is available for Concerts, Festivals, Colleges, Master Classes, Film Scores, Commissions for Jazz Ensembles, Gospel Choirs, Chamber Groups and Symphonies.
