Throughout his career, clarinetist Dr. Michael White has been one of the leaders of traditional New Orleans jazz.
He performed early on with Doc Paulin’s Brass Band, Danny Barker’s Fairview Baptist Church Marching Band, and Kid Sheik Colar.
White has worked and recorded with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra on several occasions through the years, played with the Young Tuxedo Brass Band, and in 1981 founded the Original Liberty Jazz Band, his regularly working group.
An important educator and expert on New Orleans jazz, Michael White (who has developed his own sound on clarinet out of the New Orleans tradition) has led at least 15 albums of his own.
On June 14, 2020 he performed with the current version of the Original Liberty Jazz Band, a septet that includes trumpeter Wendell Brunious, trombonist David Harris, and pianist Steve Pistorius.
The band performs a memorable set that includes “Shake It And Break It” (also known as “Weary Blues”), the beautiful “The Purple Rose Of Cairo,” “Panama,” White’s feature on “Summertime”(inspired by Sidney Bechet’s version), a few likable originals and “Bye and Bye.”
The relaxed yet exciting ensembles and the consistently colorful solos make this a fun hour of New Orleans jazz.

Percussion Discussion is a weekly percussion program that features performances and mini-clinics from top Latin percussionists based in the Bronx.
The June 10, 2020 clinic, called “Semilia En Clave La Marace De La Bomba,” features Norka Hernandez Nadal who, in addition to being a percussionist and singer, is also a dancer, poet and specialist, particularly when it comes to utilizing the Maraca in Bomba music. While the Maraca looks like a simple instrument to play, Ms. Nadal discusses its role in Bomba music (where it is often utilized by the lead singer) and several of its rhythmic patterns.

Guitarist Juanma Trujillo was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela, worked with local musicians, moved to Los Angeles in 2005 and has been part of the jazz and improvised music scene in New York since 2014, developing his own sound and approach to playing avant-garde music.
Violinist Leonor Falcón was classically trained in her native Venezuela But, while she performed in chamber music groups as a teenager, she became very interested in improvisation, working with jazz, pop, rock and Latin groups.
After studying in Switzerland during 2007-10, Falçon moved to New York and continued her studies in addition to working with a wide assortment of musicians including Willie Colon, Akua Dixon, Arturo O’Farrill’s Latin Jazz Orchestra and Karl Berger.
On their LiveStream of June 10, 2020, the duo of Falcón and Trujillo performs three pieces from the guitarist’s Folklore CD (“Crónica,” “Espacio,” and “Rumia”) plus “Interludio,” the latter has the pair singing a folk melody together before briefly playing it.
Otherwise, the explorative music is somber yet explosive, thoughtful yet sometimes quite dense with the violinist’s lyrical lead being joined by electronic sounds from Trujillo.
The duo explores several moods, follows each other’s directions, and creates haunting and atmospheric music.
