THE FAMILY / Lenny White

 

LENNY WHITE, legendary Jazz drummer, has played with virtually everyone in the music business and has co-created some of the most influential music over the past 3 decades. Alternating between drummer and producer and always on the cutting edge of the music scene, he has been continually pushing the musical envelope. Lenny has collaborated with jazz music’s greatest artists including Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Joe Henderson. But it was his drum playing on Miles Davis’ “Bitches Brew”, a recording that changed the face of music for decades to come, that launched his career. This led to his participation with the world renown, Grammy Award winning fusion group Return To Forever, which included keyboard player Chick Corea, bassist Stanley Clarke, and guitar player Al Di Meola. Lenny is currently composing an Opera, which he views as a lifelong work.
