About Dr. Michael White
A highly respected jazz clarinetist based out of New Orleans, Dr. Michael White's playing pays tribute to the city's Dixieland heritage and predecessors like Sidney Bechet. White is a professor at Xavier University where he teaches African-American Music and holds an endowed chair in the humanities department. He is in his early 50's and began his musical career in his late teens, blowing with veteran trumpeter Doc Paulin's Brass Band. After stints in the 70's sitting in with many of the then-remaining old timers like trumpeter "Kid Sheik" Colar, banjoist Emanuel Sayles, trombonist Louis Nelson, and bassist Chester Zardis, White formed his own group, the Original Liberty Jazz Band, in 1981. White continues to lead that band as well as the Liberty Brass Band and the Michael White Quartet. White is also known for his long association with Wynton Marsalis, with whom he had a prominent role on the 1989 release, The Majesty of the Blues.
