i know you received a CD when you purchased a box of his Legacy cigars. I'm not sure who has one of those in circulation.

Amazon has the cd listed, but unfortunately unavailable.

www.froogle.com is cool...

Found a couple sites you can download from.

Did you check eBay?

eBay has everything.

Napster was one of the sources... unreliable?

A saw 2 copies of his CD when I was visiting Maxamar Ulitmate Cigars in Orange, CA 714-633-3000. That number shouls still be good.
3744 East Chapman Ave
#E
Orange, CA 92869

I almost bought a copy but I thought about it too much and talked myself out of it.

Good Luck!

I wonder how good he really is, because allmusic barely has any info on him.

Good research and links. Here are the "notes" on his CD from one of the sites that kheffelf has supplied. As mentioned his daughter, Karyn is also a musician with her own career. She sings on one of Avo's tracks.

In terms of genre, Legacy could be classified as light adult alternative with a distinctively European flavor. Offering a "blend" of musical styles that range from the opening track, "Canto Por La Vida" (Music for Life) with it's Neapolitan-like flavor to "Avo Bossa" a Jobim-inspired piece underpinned by the insouciant phrasings of tenor sax player and arranger, Brian Snapp.

There are also several tribute songs on the album which trace the course of Avo's musical career like "Kreuzlingen," named for the Swiss village where Avo has been a welcome visitor for many years. "Cigar Store Boogie" emphasizes Avo's fondness for traditional American jazz & blues with its colorful, boogie-woogie stomp. "Karyn" is a serenade to his daughter, Karyn Uvezian. This track is justifiably placed right before "Thinking Of You," wherein Ms. Uvezian supplies her own expressive vocal skills, comparable to the mellifluous tones of smooth-jazz singer, Sade. "Armen! ia," another song named for a locale close to Avo's heart, is an emotional melody that's reminiscent of French composer, Michel Legrand, in its orchestration. Moreover, it has a very "movie soundtrack" quality to it. The same could be said for most of the material on this CD and in a way, Legacy truly IS the soundtrack of Avo's long and wonderful life.
