The Integrity of Enzo Avitabile's Voice Centers Everyone
"The more of yourself you put into your sound the more of you will be in the circle. When you find your integrity in your voice, when it is real for you, your one centered sound centers everyone. The more you tune it, the more it tunes the world. In one clear tone there is that much sanity."
— W. A. Mathieu in The Musical Life
Enzo Avitabile has worked with James Brown and Tina Turner but his deepest pleasure and fulfillment is jamming with 12 world class musicians who gather in a Baroque church to perform his music. Avitabile's energy and collaborative skills seem to center all of these guest musicians so they can bring out their best as they tune the world together.

— W. A. Mathieu in The Musical Life
Enzo Avitabile, a double cornea transplant recipient, sees things very clearly.
