Orion White
Orion White is an Indigenous (Nez Perce and Ottawa of Oklahoma) Baritone Saxophone specialist and music educator based in Portland, OR bringing together jazz, rock, house, and funk sensibilities to create a style of playing all his own.
Orion earned his undergraduate degree at the Lionel Hampton School of Music at the University of Idaho and soon became a founding member of the Julia Keefe Indigenous Big Band as well as joined No Soap, Radio, a jazz-funk-metal-whatever-feels-right-fusion group.
Orion's career may just be starting but it has already taken him to massive stages, including the Kennedy Center and the Washington Center for the Performing Arts, festivals such as the Monterey Jazz Festival and Juneau Blues and Classics, and has allowed him the chance to rub elbows with masters of the craft, such as Marc Carry and Esperanza Spalding.
