    One thing I appreciate about Avi, is something that I appreciate about Tennessee Ernie Ford as well; even though they have extraordinary bass range, they use it conservatively.
    They don't just hit deep notes to show off; they do it when it fits and use it as a way to make a song more beautiful, not to show off.

    That key is perfect for Avi. He has a depth to his tone, that no baritone can match, even if we can hit the same notes. He sounds so f-ing gorgeous. His technique is also wonderful, just retaining enough natural feel so it doesn't seem to pompous, like classical songs in general. It is so lush and so lovely to listen to. Can't think of many people competing for the same spot.
