R. Martino Avery, Director United Voices Choir
“I am the musician who quietly walks into a hotel piano lounge or a private home suited up in black and sits at the grand piano and fills the atmosphere with straight-ahead jazz & smooth jazz/neo acoustic keys as one begins to inhale and exhale fresh aroma that the instrument naturally produces.” -R. Martino Avery
