Harry White

Soul-jazz detectives have a tendency to deduce a flügelhorn credit about Freddie Roach’s My People (Soul People) album epic from 1967 offers nothing in connection with trombonist Harry White, who used soul folks of his personal, Cab Calloway included in this. Topping the illuminations behind this assumption may be the fact the latter horn participant was dead for pretty much five years by enough time keyboardist, flutist, and vocalist Roach slice what would grow to be his last album. A study associate instructed to discover further proof recording or overall performance activity including this guy on either flügelhorn or trumpet was quickly literally assaulted by many boisterous discographers who insisted it had been Henry White colored who performed the Roach day, not Harry White colored. “It’s a common plenty of mistake, since Harry White performed on “Reefer Man” and Roach’s name is definitely, well, Roach,” one of the most mellow discographers accepted after looking into some of the study assistant’s defensive techniques. “Henry White colored played electric guitar,” a Southern professional in sidemen no one has have you ever heard of ventured, nevertheless, when asked to create proof of a man of this name who blew a flügelhorn. Henry or Harry, the flügelhorn guy can be very pleased to state that completely of his discography was documented by none apart from the illustrious jazz documenting engineer Rudy Truck Gelder, in charge of many fine periods on the ultimate label Roach acquired the Prestige of documenting for, as they say. No various other trumpet stuff turns up under Harry Light and data for Henry Light are similarly single-minded, such as Tom Lord’s specific discographical poetry: “1…1967…flhrn.”
