Teodross Avery

Avery's studies with Joe Henderson, as well as his work with Roy Ayers, Betty Carter, Aretha Franklin and Roy Hargrove, have helped turn the young sax player into a modern standout. Unafraid to take chances, his sound ranges from fiery Bebop licks to hip-hop-inspired Funk. And you can always expect great players on his albums, from guitarists John Scofield and Mark Whitfield to rapper Black Thought from the Roots.
