Jazz
Recorded at Bear Creek Studios, Woodinville, Washington on June 1, 1995.
Michael White: violin / Bill Frisell: guitar
The violinist Michael White can be regarded as an elementary jazz figure. Together with Bill Frisell, one of the leading jazz-guitar innovators, White recorded the album ''motion pictures'' in the late 90s. The instrumentation reveals a proximity to country & western music, but what these two virtuosos conjure up here is a much greater range of tonal colors stemming from classical music, the avant garde, blues and naturally jazz. White & Frisell create an impressionist picture album on ''motion pictures'' with the clear emphasis on a wealth of nuance and atmospheric depth. As elegant as they are playful, the two musicians circle around each other, comment upon and decorate each other, juggle with moments of tension and silence - the tonal equivalent of shade, twilight and the individual flowing, golden rays of sunlight shining upon a vast cloudy background.
''White chose Frisell as accompanying guitarist, who obviously enjoyed the session'' (Spiegel Extra, 09/97)
Michael White
Active Decades: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: May 24, 1933
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Fusion, New Orleans Jazz, Post-Bop
It seems strange that Michael White (no relation to the New Orleans clarinetist of the same name or the funk-oriented drummer) never became better known. A potentially major violinist in the early days of fusion, he managed to successfully avoid becoming famous. White, who was born in Houston, grew up in Oakland. He gained some attention when he was part of the John Handy Quintet that was the hit of the 1965 Monterey Jazz Festival. White recorded three albums with Handy and then formed his own early fusion group Fourth Way, a band that never achieved more than regional fame. In the early '70s, he had opportunities to record with Pharoah Sanders, McCoy Tyner (appearing on Song For My Lady), and Joe Henderson but, despite his obvious talent and his ability to bridge the gap between avant-garde jazz, spiritual music, and rock, White eventually was totally overshadowed by Jean Luc-Ponty. He has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area up to the present time, emerging from obscurity briefly to join in on an unrecorded mid-'90s reunion with the Handy Quintet and a released duet album with Bill Frisell (Motion Picture). Michael White recorded five albums for Impulse as a leader during 1971-1974, but all are long out-of-print.
