Critic's Choice: "White's auspicious debut as a leader . . . This smart,
swinging set flies high . . ." --- Billboard Magazine

“…a reputation-making debut… White has assembled an all-star cast...
what makes this album soar is White's angular, propulsive compositions,
tunes that are unusually lyrical for a drummer… Harlem Sunset represents
the best modern jazz has to offer." --- Boston Herald

"Buy Harlem Sunset . . . It has strong new lines on which to improvise (composed by White), solos which flame with passion, and startling sonic immediacy." --- CD Review


Currently working as Houston Person’s longtime drummer and having played alongside legends such as Tom Waits, John Abercrombie, Frank Wess, Chet Baker, Benny Powell, & Dave Liebman, Chip White is a Jazz musician who focuses on the music rather then fame. This remarkable debut Postcards Records CD recording, Chip White: Harlem Sunset is a spectacular example of his musical focus, as well as his propulsive and innovative style.
