Description
New Orleans Jazz luminary Dr. Michael White returns with 'Adventures in New Orleans Jazz, Part 2'. His sixth release on Basin Street Records, the second Adventure lays much closer to its roots than the internationally spiced Part 1.
The album features an interesting selection of songs, including tracks performed by Hank Williams, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Janis Joplin, The Turtles and original compositions such as "Eternally Blue", a lush and soulful composition held together by bouncing piano.
In addition to receiving the National Endowment for the Arts' National Heritage Fellowship Award, White was named Louisiana Humanist of the Year by the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, and he also won the Offbeat Magazine Best of the Beat Award as Clarinetist of the Year, and Gambit Magazine's Big Easy Entertainment Award for Traditional Jazz Artist of the Year. He has also performed on recent records by Eric Clapton, Paul Simon, Wynton Marsalis and Marianne Faithfull.
