Musician

David G White

Born:

Not one to swim in waters others have swum, David is an acclaimed jazz guitarist and innovative composer. What defines his music is a defiance of labels. To wit: although he was schooled in bebop for many years with acclaimed teacher Charlie Shoemake in Los Angeles, he was exploring odd meters and long form composition in the 1990s long before that was fashionable as it is today (e.g. All Stories Are True; Object Relations). His acclaimed band in the mid 2000s, Big Neighborhood (nominated for a Grammy with Neighbors), combined eclectic guitar-synth contrapuntalism with edgy, harmonically-based improvisation. His current trio project with John Lockwood and Mark Walker is a fascinating and unique hybrid that contains traces of bebop, latin, free, and harmony-rich 21st century jazz rendered in an eletric modern guitar vein.

David G White: While You Were Sleeping

Read "While You Were Sleeping" reviewed by Paul Rauch


Guitarist David G. White has an independent streak in him that has endured from his early days on the scene in Boston and New York in the 1990s.
