About Me
“Joshua has immense talent … I was impressed by his daring and courageous
approach to improvisation on the cutting edge of innovation. He is his own
man…” – HERBIE HANCOCK
>>> Joshua White is one of the music scene’s most creative and technically
accomplished pianists. Praised by legendary musicians like Herbie Hancock as
having “immense talent” and lauded for his “daring and courageous approach
to improvisation … on the cutting edge of innovation”, Joshua has distinguished
himself as a formidable leader of distinct voice among his peers. Born and
raised in Southern California, Joshua received early training at the piano and
developed rapidly through rigorous study of both Western European Classical
literature and the Black American Music traditions. Shortly after placing in the
top two as a finalist of the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Piano
Competition, Joshua began performing as a soloist and musical collaborator all
over the world — and continues to maintain an active touring schedule
throughout Europe, Africa, and Asia. His most frequent collaborators include
Mark Dresser, Nicole Mitchell, Eric Revis, Michael Dessen, Steph Richards,
Marvin “Smitty” Smith, Jeff Parker, Alex Cline, Josh Johnson, Rudresh
Mahanthappa, Dwight Trible, Marshall Hawkins, and Gilbert Castellanos, among
many others. Additionally, Joshua White can currently be seen and heard
leading various configurations of his piano trio (#JWTrio) featuring Dean Hulett,
Alex Boneham, Anna Butterss (bass) and Tyler Kreutel, Christian Euman, Dan
Schnelle (drums)...
