Jazz
Leisei Chen (vocals); Timothy Young (guitar); Michael White (violin); Cecil McBee (acoustic bass); Kenneth Nash (percussion)
Michael White is a truly original and groundbreaking violinist in the realm of jazz. In the 1960s, he introduced the violin into the free jazz scenes of the Bay Area and New York, playing with luminaries such as Sun Ra, John Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders. In the early 1970s, he was a founding member of the first fusion group, the "Fourth Way". Here he reunites with bassist Cecil McBee and percussionist Kenneth Nash, and includes vocalist Leisei Chen and guitarist Timothy Young to celebrate the 30th anniversary of White's legendary Impulse Jazz release The Land of Spirit and Light. With music ranging from original compositions, classic jazz, bossa nova, latin, and improvisational sounds inspired by the diversity of world culture, this recording will move and delight you!
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.
