Critical Acclaim for the David White Jazz Orchestra:

"While certainly a potent horn player in his own right, White proves himself a remarkable composer whose willingness to stretch textures and tonalities without sacrificing a sense of swing might remind listeners of great ensembles like the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra."
 -Seton Hawkins, Hot House Jazz Magazine
 
"White clearly knows his jazz history and strikes a perfect balance by incorporating his musical influences while defining his own progressive style."
 -Karl Ackermann, allaboutjazz.com
 
"A thinking artist's approach to big band writing that comes across almost cinematic in its measured, moody approach."
 -Marc Meyers, Jazz Wax
 
"White has utilized the power of the full band, the textures of the sections and that approach that never quite lets on exactly where it's going."
 -Donald Litman, The NYC Jazz Record
 
"White guides his 17-member orchestra through a program of compositions that seamlessly move from extended blues strut one moment to soft-focus serenity the next.”
 -Aaron Cohen, Down Beat
 
"White and the orchestra are as a rule beyond reproach. He writes tasteful melodies, and the orchestra carries out his game plan to the letter."
 -Jack Bowers, All About Jazz
 
"A brass-rich ensemble that is precise and polished."
 -Oscar Groomes, O’s Place Jazz Newsletter
 
"White's greatest achievement here surrounds his ability to create and manipulate momentum. Virtually every track plays on the idea of forward motion as a major design element."
 -Dan Bilawsky, All About Jazz

"The writing is truly engaging and the delivery of the material is impeccable. White’s work shows the capabilities of a larger musician base in a modern context."
 -The Jazz Page
