This track also appears on his 2010 full-length debut "Something New," which received praise from several New York City and Philadelphia press outlets, including Time Out New York, The L Magazine, 88.5 WXPN in Philadelphia. His September 2015 release, the digital single Sky Blue Sky was recorded via satellite between Rio de Janeiro and Philadelphia. This song was also a finalist in both the Philadelphia Songwriter's Project Songwriting Competition and in the Vocal Jazz/Blues category of the 32nd Mid-Atlantic Song Contest. Music Historian blogger Patricia Trutescu reviewed "Sky Blue Sky" and wrote that "the verses in 'Sky Blue Sky' tell a story of the musician’s vivid memories of playing music on the Brazilian Ipanema beach, hiking along the Italian Amalfi Coast, sailing in the San Francisco Bay, lounging on the rooftops of Philadelphia, and more." Avi is the grandson of Polish-born Cantor and Holocaust survivor, the late David S. Wisnia, who periodically performed live with Avi. (en)
