I just heard Dr. White's rendition of "Summertime" on a local Jazz station while driving the other day and I just about drove off the road! This is sensational!

Jazz From the Soul of New Orleans is music performed by musicians who really understand it, and you feel educated and inspired just by listening.

This review is from: Jazz From the Soul of New Orleans (Audio CD)

Unfortunately, I had never heard of Dr. Michael White and his original Liberty Jazz Band until a recent trip to New Orleans. Jazz was not the type of music I listened to a lot. During our stay in New Orleans, we were invited to a church service at which Dr. White and his Band were the guest musicians. I don't think there are words to adequately describe what I felt, listening to the band and Dr. White's Clarinet. My husband and adult daughter expressed the same feelings.
I have since purchased "A Song for George Lewis" and "Jazz From the Soul of New Orleans ". I am just as moved listening to them over and over as I was the first time I heard Dr. Michael White and his original Liberty Jazz Band.

Thinking how quiet the streets of New Orleans are after Hurricane Katrina, I wanted a CD that captured the heart and soul of New Orleans. Dr. White and the musicians in his group (all New Orleans natives) really do capture the true spirit of New Orleans jazz on this recording. The blending of different styles of jazz combined with Dr. White's superb clarinet make for enjoyable listening over and over. The quality and clarity of the recording is excellent--many of the other New Orleans jazz CDs are older remastered versions of analog recordings and lack the crisp sound found on this cd. This is a real gem!
