Everyones temperature will be taken at the door before entry and hand sanitizer will be provided upon request.As a musician, Dr. Teodross Avery stands as one who defines live musicbest experienced front row, and full throttle. His commanding presence, on stage and off, reflects his musical ingenuity and skill. With an outstanding pedigree, both professionally and academically, Teodross is a saxophonist to watch, as evidenced by many of todays biggest names in music relying on his wide musical reach.While growing up in Oakland and Vacaville, California, Teodross parents exposed him to a wide range of music including traditional Eastern and Western African music, Soul, Rock, and Jazz. At ten, his father started him with classical guitar lessons. Jolted by the sound of John Coltranes Giant Steps, Teodross switched to the saxophone at thirteen. As a testament to his young promise, the great Wynton Marsalis purchased a saxophone for him. At 17, Teodross eventually won a full music scholarship to attend the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston.
