Dr. Michael White: Free Download from Adventures in New Orleans Jazz, Part 2

Dr. Michael White

For traditional jazz fans—and New Orleans music lovers in general—one of last summer’s most exciting releases was clarinetist Dr. Michael White’s Adventures in New Orleans Jazz, Part 1. We even chose the album as the eighth favorite on our 40 Best Albums of 2011 list.

Any “Part 1” brings anticipation of a “Part 2”, and Basin Street Records will release White’s follow-up on June 19. Our review of the album, which relies less heavily than its predecessor on African and Caribbean sounds, comes out with the June issue next week. For now, you can get a taste of Adventures in New Orleans Jazz, Part 2 with this free stream and download of the trad jazz standard “Panama” from the upcoming record.
