Modern Spirit inTraditional Jazz
My first encounter of New Orleans Jazz was in 3 years ago,when Dr. White and his band were invited as guest artists to OFAM's summer festival in Oregon. No music has ever touched me as profoundly as my first experience with what it came out of the clarinet played by a soft-spoken, scholar-looking jazz artist,who was gifted with a distinctive spirit. Dr.White plays his music with deep feelings, and his style of interpretation sets him apart from others in classical jazz. His music is always presented with great sensitivities, passions and respect to the tradition, through which one can imagine how New Orleans jazz might have been experienced in the old days. This CD represents Dr. White's musical talents in preserving the beauty and spirit of traditional jazz in modern time.

Authentic Jazz by a Master
This is a wonderful collection of authentic New Orleans Jazz inspired by the likes of Jellyroll Morton, Louis Armstrong and the giants of the genre. White who also boasts a PhD in Spanish and teaches the history of Jazz at a New Orleans university plays a mean clarinet. This CD is a tribute to his inspiration, the great clarinetist, George Lewis and Lewis is somewhere up in heaven enjoying the performance. This is New Orleans music at its authentic best. Buy this Cd and enjoy!

Love it
I've played this CD over and over a few hundred times. I still love it. Dr. Michael White and his group are super. If you like New Orleans jazz, you'll want this CD.
