Pianist Joshua White is a remarkably gifted young jazz performer, classical pianist, and composer. He began formal piano training at the age of seven and became the organist and pianist for the Encanto Southern Baptist Church by age 10.
After competing in several classical music competitions, Joshua chose to focus his work on jazz, drawing inspiration from its many innovators. In the past year he has performed at many of San Diego's top venues including Anthology, Dizzy's, and the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library. He was also a featured guest at the 2007 Ensenada Jazz Festival.
He recently founded SPECTRUM with bassist Jeff Denson and drummer Danny Campbell, a Southern California-based group focused on performing original music. Other collaboraters, in SPECTRUM, include Los Angeles - based drummer Brian McLaughlin and saxophonist Ellen Weller. Joshua’s enthusiasm and dedication to music is phenomenal and he is sure to become one of jazz’s major talents.
Among his many influences, he cites Herbie Hancock, Phineas Newborn Jr., and Andrew Hill as several of his favorites. He also recently recorded with internationally recognized bassist Christian McBride and looks forward to a promising career in music.
