André White - Sparrow's Memories- July 26, 2022 - Anthony’s Cari-Jazz - PANJAZZ Tuesday
André White’s name is synonymous with excellence in steelpan. Whether arranging popular music for a 100-person orchestra, composing the abundance of life-force in a jazz trio or left with the instrument alone on stage, White’s music is unmistakable in impact.
It’s simple to call someone “prodigy” when they begin to teach themselves music at the age of 6; when he began playing with Long-Island based ADLIB Steel Orchestra. In 2008, at age 18, André won the New York Panorama with ADLIB playing Amrit Samaroo’s Heat. André has gone on to arrange for such bands as Pamberi, Pan Evolution (NY), Pantonic (NY), ADLIB (NY); Mangrove (UK); WITCO Desperadoes (TT); Sforzata (TT), and Tamana Pioneers (TT).
He has become a 3-time Champion in the Annual WIADCA (formerly Labour Day in Brooklyn) Steelband Panorama (2008, 2011, and 2012), a 4-time UK Panorama Champion (2011, 2018, 2019, and 2021) and a Finalist in Panorama Competitions in Trinidad and Tobago.
Recording with artists like Etienne Charles and even releasing his own album (Liberation), White adds clout to his credential as a Berklee Alumnus.
In recent months, André won the International Pan Ramajay Soloist category hosted by Republic Bank Exodus. His talent is such that hearing him perform, even once, will change the way you perceive clarity and fluidity on the instrument. His victories are a whisper of the larger story.
