Michael White

Drummer Michael White is coming on the U.S. scene with a roar as his debut, "So Far Away", read's like a who's who in contemporary jazz. Featuring players like saxophonits Everette Harp and Gerald Albright; vocalist Phil Perry; bassists Marcus Miller, Stanley Clarke and Byron Miller; guitarists Norman Brown, Ray Fuller, and Eric Gale; keyboardist John Beasley and even the Earth Wind & Fire Horns, "So Far Away" is destined to become a NAC/Quiet Storm classic. Watch for the title track featuring vocalist Phil Perry to soar up the radio charts.

Originally from Chicago, White's playing encompasses a versatile blend of rock, R&B, and jazz which is evident in his studio and live associations over the years with Horace Silver, Patrice Rushen, Ronnie Laws, Rickie Lee Jones, Teena Marie, Luther Vandeross, Stanley Turrentine, Beorge Benson, David Sanborn, Whitney Houston, George Duke, and the Four Tops, among countless others. From 1985 through 1992, White was a member of the popular soul band Frankie Beverly & Maze, earning him four gold records.
