Dr. Michael White - Jazz Professor and Musician
Dr. Michael White has been instrumental in keeping alive the New Orleans jazz tradition of his ancestors, some of who were among the earliest jazz musicians. He performs, writes and lectures on jazz, and is among a very few current clarinetists that have developed an original authentic interpretation of the New Orleans style.
White has been widely acknowledged as an expert in the field of traditional New Orleans jazz and currently serves as commissioner of the New Orleans Jazz National Park, sponsored by the U.S. Department of the Interior.
