The Andre White Trio, with Alec Walkington on bass, and David Laing on drums, has been playing together for over twenty-five years, and has served as rhythm section to many of Montreal’s important bands, including quintets led by Kevin Dean and Reno De Stephano, and the big band of Joe Sullivan. For one night only at the Segal Centre, award-winning pianist and drummer Andre White is accompanied by a Quartet of many of Montreal’s finest Jazz musicians to present a vibrant and eclectic array of Mr. White’s most recent recordings.

Andre White’s most recent CD as a drummer, Code White, is available at CD Baby, as is his piano CD, Luck. In addition, White is featured as drummer and composer on the new P. J. Perry CD Ubiquitous, recorded live in Vancouver, on Cellar Live Records. In addition, he was the co-producer for Julie Lamontagne’s 2012 ADISQ winning Opus Jazz this year.

Andre White has lived in Montreal almost all of his life. Exposed to music throughout his childhood, he pursued his formal music studies at Vanier College, as well as earning a B.A. in English Literature from Concordia University and a M. Mus. in Sound Recording from McGill University. Montreal continues to be his home base, although he works frequently outside of the province of Quebec. He is presently employed full-time as an Associate Professor in Jazz Studies at McGill University, where he teaches Jazz History, Jazz Piano, and Jazz Improvisation, and has also served as Jazz Area Chair.

Andre plays both piano and drums, and has appeared with many Canadian and American musicians, both in Montreal and elsewhere. Some of the performers he has accompanied include Benny Carter, Dizzy Gillespie, Jimmy Heath, Benny Golson, Barry Harris, Dave Liebman, Don Thompson, Steve Grossman, Sonny Greenwich, Pepper Adams, Cecil Payne, Junior Cook, Bob Berg, Rob McConnell, Gary Bartz, Craig Handy, Ben Monder, Peter Bernstein and Kevin Dean.

In addition, Andre works occasionally as a free-lance recording engineer and producer. Since 1990, Andre has been involved in the production and recording of over one hundred independent jazz releases, including recordings by Julie Lamontagne, Kirk MacDonald, Kevin Dean, Geoff Lapp, and Jean Beaudet. He was the coproducer for Julie Lamontagne’s 2012 ADISQ winning Opus Jazz this year.
