Flynn Center for the Performing Arts

Avery Sharpe, bassist and composer, performed with his quintet as part of the Flynn Center’s long-standing Jazz Cabaret Series. His program Legends and Mentors is both adventurous and educational, and guides new audience members through generations of jazz. The ensemble also participated in FlynnArts’ student matinee series, bringing Mr. Sharpe’s distinctive sound to over 150 area middle and high-school students. Other activities included a jazz student workshop and a pre and post-performance lecture.
