This was my first post in January of 2008. To celebrate my approaching year's anniversary, it's now been re-upped at 320. It's my same original vinyl to CDR rip (made on a Philips CD recorder several years ago), but re-ripped from my CDR to MP3 at that higher bitrate.
As I wrote in my review of White's "Pneuma" there's something incredibly vibrant about White's blending of Impulse-style free jazz and a spiritual east-bay afro-hippy sensibility. His music remains foundational to my own taste and I'm proud to re-offer this lost example of the archetypal 1970s kozmigroov sound.

Let me know what you think of the music.
Hello Ish, 1st anniversary, Congratulation!
Many many thanks, my friend.
I know there was a long and winding road.
You encouraged me a lot.
Thank you again.

Congrats on one year! Yes I couldn't agree more, this is one of the greats. I love his work on McCoy Tyner's "Song for my Lady." I'd be interested in hearing his album with Bill Frisell "Motion Picture."
Yeah, the McCoy Tyner is nice.
I don't know the Frisell, Art!
I forgot to mention that Michael White himself stopped over here a couple months back. Check the comments on the Pneuma post for urls to his current work.
maybe I am a total stranger here, but let me just thank you and all of your friends who is connected by those jazz bloger thing for all those works to post great music which is so rare that I can never get on CDs or rechords.
This is nice stuff, kind of different, joyful, a pleasure to hear thanks to your sharing. Beautiful how The Tenth Pyramid progresses. Much appreciated as with all your high quality posts!
superb post.
thank you Ish
Here's "Motion Pictures" Michael White's album with Bill Frisell from 1997. It's quiet and folksy, not what I expected, though Frisell turns up the electronics on occasion and it goes without saying that White can play. Worth a listen.

Thank you!
I agree with you 100%. Love Michael White's sound. Thanks for this and congratulations on a year of beautiful shares! Very much appreciated.
i think it is nice a larger (at the time) label like impulse! seemed to let white use his own guys. most of his impulse! albums have local players with up and coming or more obscure musicians. this must have been one of ray drummond's first gigs.
Thanks for posting this. Funny, I was just listening to some Michael White night before last and was thinking, Damn this stuff is great.
Good to have some more.
