Description
"A really outstanding piece of work from a performer who is not as yet in the smooth jazz superstar category but who has just released a CD that we consider to be easily one of the top five albums so far of 2004." -Denis Poole, Music Critic, SmoothjazzVibes, U.K
"Larry White's jazzy soul music. it's smooth as melted chocolate in the winter. Rooted in adult contemporary, jazz, and R&B, 'Unsolicited Material' is a mature glimpse at a legend in the making." -J-Sin I Music Critic, Smother.net
"...a welcome sampling of contemporary jazz flavors. His style is much like fellow pianists David Benoit, Greg Karukas and Brian Culbertson. If you're looking for a Contemporary Jazz breakout CD, this could be it. Give it a try!" -Michael Gerard James, Smooth Jazz and More
"Larry White is truly one of the finest musicians I know. I think he is a brilliant pianist as well as an arranger/conductor and I wish him all the luck in the world with his new CD. He definitely is a winner." -Buddy Greco, Jazz Legend - Las Vegas, Nevada
