This Week at CafeJazz.ca: A show that's 'White hot'!
Back in December of 2004 we aired a special called A Peter White New Year wherein we played the music of Peter White exclusively. Using A White Christmas as a theme seemed just a bit too obvious a play on Peter's name but, with a show just in time to celebrate the arrival of a New Year, the project morphed into A (Peter) White New Year! Now ten years later nearly to the day we reprise a decade old concept with A New Peter White New Year. Included on this edition are tunes from 12 Peter White albums - while additionally we've filled the bill with a few of our favourite guest spots for a total of 37 'White hot' selections! Now if ever there was a radio show custom made for celebrating the New Year it's gotta be this one. So could there be a New Year 3? One never knows for sure, but ten years from now don't be surprised 'cuz there just may be!

EPILOGUE

PLAYLIST

Highlights: Part One
	Here We Go - Peter White: Here We Go was the 2012 follow-up to Peter White's Good Day release and his 13th studio effort. With the initial cut and the title track, Peter fulfilled a long-time ambition to record with David Sanborn. The selection sees the teaming of two iconic performers in the genre - the resulting combination of grit and polish is not only brilliant (to coin a British term), it also elevates the tune to the upper echelons of a long list of highly impressive Peter White tracks. CD: Here We Go (2012) Label: Heads Up Records
	In Rainbows - Peter White: Peter White's 14th solo release Smile is also his third album for the Heads Up imprint, and with it Peter completes a trilogy of projects comprised of all original material. The cd includes an impressive array of special guests, with Mindi Abair, Rick Braun, Euge Groove, Philippe Saisse, and last but not least, his own daughter Charlotte White on violin. We've chosen a trio of terrific tracks from the disc beginning with the exquisite In Rainbows. CD: Smile (2014) Label: Heads Up Records
	Danny Bianco - Peter White: Réveillez-Vous (pronounced Reh-Vay-Eh-Voo) was the project that Peter had been threatening to record for so many years. From that debut and an album that has withstood the test of time; we have Peter with an upbeat tune that was written for his brother Danny! CD: Réveillez-Vous (1990) Label: Chase Music Group

Highlights: Part Two
	In The Rain - Peter White : Peter named his second cd Excusez-Moi after being told it seemed the title of his last disc was too difficult to pronounce. Nonetheless, the music contained therein was just as easily accessible - a prime example: In the Rain - a gorgeous composition highlighted by the vocals of Amber Di Lena and Neal Morse. CD: Excusez-Moi (1991) Label: CGR / Sin-Drome
	Caravan of Dreams - Peter White: Peter White is an artist "whose unique sound and natural, unpretentious musical vision encapsulate all the charm, appeal, and excitement of his genre." So wrote Jonathan Widran in 1996 while reviewing Caravan of Dreams. On the album Peter renewed his affiliations with producer Paul Brown initiated on the Reflections cd and with saxman Boney James with whom he'd worked on his past two releases. From the resulting project, and one which rates highly on our list of indispensables, Peter and Boney trade-off leads on the soulful and elegant title track! CD: Caravan of Dreams (1996) Label: Columbia / Sony
	Chasing the Dawn - Peter White: Exhibiting a distinctive sound and a flawless technique, Peter White's liquid lines and romantic phrasing are lavishly scented with elements of the blues and splashes of flamenco. Upbeat, richly textured, and sensuous, there's definitely a joie de vivre in everything he plays. Buoyed by a lush backdrop and an infectious groove, here's a 'glowing' example of a performer at the very peak of his craft! CD: Glow (2001) Label: Columbia

Epilogue:
A Peter White New Year 1 aired on December 26th, 2004 and featured a total of 39 tracks culled from 8 albums and numerous guest spots. Now a decade later, and with the recent release of Smile, Peter's latest cd, there were 4 additional albums to consider! True to form, the choice was clear - select only tracks that had not been part of the first New Year's show.

The result proved a pleasurable jaunt down memory lane as well as a journey of re-discovery! Notwithstanding the challenge, we've come up with a spectacular 37-track outing that will make you 'smile' - that's when the clock chimes twelve on A New Peter White New Year!
