"Avery Sharpe is a national treasure, and he lives here in Massachusetts. As jazz giant McCoy Tyner's bassist for 20 years, he has toured the world, recorded extensively, and played with a host of legendary musicians. I have had the extreme pleasure of playing with him on several occasions, and I can attest that standing next to him and not only hearing, but feeling his acoustic bass laying down as solid a groove as can be made is an elevating experience. He is the kind of musician who avoids showboating, and instead plays to support the overall group effort in a way that propels each of the individuals in the group to play better than they knew they could." -Saxophonist Willie Sordillo, Harmony Grove
