LITCHFIELD JAZZ FESTIVAL/ AVERY SHARPE NEW ENGLAND CHOIR
United States, Connecticut, Gosher, 116 Old Middle Street Goshen, CT , 06756Sharpe Meets Tharpe: Avery Sharpe's New England Gospel Choir Salutes Sister Rosetta Tharpe.
Avery Sharpe is one of the best known bassists in jazz today. Noted for a two decade stint (1980-2000) with the great McCoy Tyner, he studied economics at UMASS where he met Reggie Workman who persuaded him to master acoustic bass. It was not long before he was performing with Art Blakey, Archie Shepp, Dizzy Gillespie, Wynton Marsalis and Pat Metheny.
Avery was the first artist to dip the Litchfield Festival’s toes into Gospel with his Sojourner Truth Project in 2012 featuring vocalist Jeri Brown and Sharpe’s Extended Family Choir peopled with, well, extended family, and his students at Williams College Gospel Choir. His grounding in gospel came from the influence of his mother who was a church pianist. Sharpe himself leads a gospel choir in Springfield MA as well as the Williams group.Varies, Children under 12 freeAll Ages
