“the gold standard for smooth jazz guitarists.” – All About Jazz

Peter White has become known as one of the jazz industry’s greatest icons, despite being entirely self-taught. For over forty years, he’s worked with many greats, recorded eighteen solo and collaboration albums, and performed before countless audiences.

White’s career began when he was invited to play keyboards for folk-rock singer Al Stewart in the 1970s. Then, his first studio experience was at Abbey Road Studio, recording Stewart’s Year of the Cat with producer Alan Parsons. By this time, White had taught himself to play numerous instruments, and soon his signature sound began to blossom. Further, this came with more emphasis on the acoustic guitar. Additionally, White counts influences as diverse as The Beatles, Eric Clapton, ELP and AC/DC. White’s lyrical style of instrumental music is unique and distinguishable, occupying a niche of his own in smooth jazz.

British-born, L.A.-based Peter White is a guitarist and smooth jazz artist. Also, his musical career has spanned over forty years. He started playing with rock legend Al Stewart in the seventies, then with singer Basia in the eighties. Moreover, he has collaborated with Boney James, Rick Braun, Richard Elliot, Kirk Whalum, Dave Koz and numerous others.
