Bobby Avey

DIGIPACK EDITION

For a young musician, Bobby Avey has quickly establishing himself as an emerging voice in the creative music scene. The Guardian describes him as, “a player and musical thinker with an intriguing future,” who The New Yorker asserts “[Avey is] a young pianist of invention and refinement.” In 2011, he won the Thelonious Monk Competition for Composition, following the release of his first album, "A New Face" , which the New York Times called “A promising debut.”

"Inhuman Wilderness" , the fifth recording from the esteemed pianist, promises to be a major artistic statement. The release is a multihued tapestry that eloquently portrays the tragedy of man's inhumanity to his fellow man and to nature. Releasing June 24th, 2016, the album will be Innervoice Jazz ’s second release after pianist Marc Copland’s Zenith.
