Doug White has performed with many jazz greats including Joe Puma, Annie Ross, Tommy Flanagan, and Milt Hinton. Mentored early on by Warne Marsh, Sam Coslow and Miles Davis, Doug White has entertained at clubs in New York, London and Paris. Featured throughout Europe and the East Coast with legendary singer, Annie Ross, (of Lambert, Hendricks and Ross fame), Doug has enjoyed international acclaim at the helm of his own groups since the early 1970’s. Doug learned jazz the old fashioned way (no jazz camp, no jazz degree) by listening, living and playing it.
