Avery Sharpe: 400: An African American Musical Portrait

Read "400: An African American Musical Portrait" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

Moreover, he's a viable solo artist, evidenced here on this multicolored 2009 piano trio venture.

The Avery Sharpe Trio: Autumn Moonlight

Read "Autumn Moonlight" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey


The Avery Sharpe Trio makes a sharp dressed brand of jazz. At once intelligent and immediate, the eleven songs that make up Autumn Moonlight are splendid fuel for Sharpe's crack piano trio with exceptional pianist Onaje Allen Gumbs and drummer Winard Harper, who collectively raise the art of the trio to a level where the concert ...
