Ed White

Ed White colored was a Canadian traditional jazz performer whose vocalizing and cornet solos were highlights of models with the Sultan 6 Jazz Music group and Jazz Rascals. He succumbed to lung tumor in 2001, abandoning many musically talented offspring. While Jennifer White’s speciality may be the Celtic harp, Ben White’s musical passions fell nearer to his outdated man’s. He tended to try out banjo and tenor electric guitar in the same groupings his father do. Both could be heard for the Jazz Rascals’ self-titled 1996 Compact disc for the Bead label. Locations such as for example London, Ontario’s Delta Armories Resort frequently hosted combos with Light at events such as for example Weekend brunches. In 1999 the Jazz Rascals toured america and Canada, declaring a Best Music group award on the Bix Beiderbecke International Jazz Celebration in Davenport, IA. “AFTER I get right up there, there’ll end up being some great jam sessions to wait,” White apparently commented on his impending demise. He shouldn’t be confused using the Ed Light who documented on trumpet for dance rings in the ’20s — but he most likely wouldn’t brain if he was.
