Michael White and the New Liberty Jazz Band
It is no
secret that Jazz music has always had a great presence here at WUNH. Lately it
seems that the rest of the UNH community is following suit and showing
appreciation for this often forgotten style of music as the Michael White and
the New Liberty Jazz Band performed on campus this past Monday.
Michael White is not only a talented
clarinetist but he is also a composer and educator of jazz history. As a New
Orleans ctizen, White has been committed to savoring the city’s unique culture
and heritage ever since starting his own jazz band in 1981 after being a member
of various previous bands.
Michael White and the New Liberty
Jazz Band fan favorites include the lighthearted and airy sound of the song
"Summertime" as well as the popular "Whoppin Blues".
One audience member had nothing but
good remarks when she said,"The Johnson theater was alive with culture; we
got a really good feeling about what the music is like in New Orleans".
