Avery Dixon On Sax

Avery Dixon Young Sax Extraordinaire www.averydixon.com
Gospel -- Jazz -- R&B -- Classical  
Avery was born weighing only 1lb 8 oz. He has a condition which causes his voice to be high pitched and airy because his vocal chords do not close completely. Despite this, along with asthma and other medical complications, he is beating all odds by playing the saxophone.  Now he is using those powerful lungs to serenade with an awesome talent comparable to artists twice his age.
Avery's gift is not just a coincidence.  He is blessed to be born into a musical family. His Great-grandfather was the extraordinary Maxwell Davis who worked for many years in Los Angeles, California as a tenor saxophone player, producer, arranger composer, songwriter, and band leader. He was known as the Father of the West Coast R&B during the '50s and '60s. Some of the artists he worked with were Etta James, B.B. King, Richard Berry, Johnny "Guitar" Watson, Jesse Belvin, Z.Z. Hill, Percy Mayfield...
