David White Jazz Orchestra

Description

• DAVID HITE JAZZ ORCHESTRADavid White is a conservatory-trained professional jazz musician (trombone and composition) with more than 20 years experience. He's had the honor or performing with such notable musicians as Benny Golson, Jon Faddis, Slide Hampton, Jim Pugh, James Weidman, Frank Lowe, Todd Coolman, Valery Ponomarev, Charli Persip, Delfeayo Marsalis, Vicki Yohe, Junior Mance, Rufus Reid, Doc Severinsen and Kenny Burrell.With the 2011 release of Flashpoint, the debut album by the David White Jazz Orchestra, the trombone-blowing leader and his 16 compatriots served notice on the jazz world of an ensemble that, while steeped in big-band traditions, takes the music in exciting new directions rife with vibrant voicings and rhythmic variety. [T]here is an infectious energy that may be the new signature sound in the development of the more contemporary jazz orchestra, Brent Black stated in his review of Flashpoint for the Critical Jazz web site. White clearly knows his jazz history and strikes a perfect balance by incorporating his musical influences while defining his own progressive style, Karl Ackermann commented at allaboutjazz.com.And Aaron Cohen wrote in Down Beat that White guides his 17-member orchestra through a program of compositions that seamlessly move from extended blues strut (Ill See You in Court) one moment to soft-focus serenity (First Lullaby) the next. The trombonist cites J.J. Johnson (the father of us all), Ray Anderson (the anti-J.J.), Slide Hampton, Curtis Fuller, and Grachan Moncur III as influences on his playing and Maria Schneider, Steve Reich, Gerald Wilson, and Thad Jones as being among the composer-arrangers who have most inspired him.
