5 out of 5 stars Dancing in the Sky - Michael White.......2007-01-29

Michael White just gets better and better. I've been enjoying his music for over 20 years.

5 out of 5 stars You'll Be Dancing Wherever You Are.......2005-09-28

I happened upon this CD when visiting New Orleans last spring and fell in love with it. The music is traditional New Orleans jazz at its finest even though many of the tracks are Dr. White's own compositions. If you love New Orleans jazz but get tired of the relative handful of standards heard on many CDs (and at Preservation Hall), buy this CD. Tracks like "Dancing in the Sky" will have you dancing wherever you are.

As a side note, Dr. White and three other displaced New Orleans musicians performed in Kentucky over the weekend, and I was privileged to see them. The concert combine great music with some fascinating jazz history lessons by Dr. White. He and the other musicians are talented, classy people. In this difficult time, they need our support--and our CD purchases--more than ever.
