Michael White is a truly original and groundbreaking violinist in the realm of jazz. In the 1960s, he introduced the violin into the free jazz scenes of the Bay Area and New York, playing with luminaries such as Sun Ra, John Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders. In the early 1970s, he was a founding member of the first fusion group, the "Fourth Way". Here he reunites with bassist Cecil McBee and percussionist Kenneth Nash, and includes vocalist Leisei Chen and guitarist Timothy Young to celebrate the 30th anniversary of White's legendary Impulse Jazz release The Land of Spirit and Light. With music ranging from original compositions, classic jazz, bossa nova, latin, and improvisational sounds inspired by the diversity of world culture, this recording will move and delight you!
