Description
'Lenny White Live' features Grammy Award-winning artist Lenny White, an influential drummer and longtime member of the fusion supergroup Return To Forever, during a tour of Japan in 1997. This powerful funk-fusion outing features an all-star lineup that includes Bennie Maupin, Patrice Rushen, Donald Blackman and Victor Bailey.
The group on 'Lenny White Live' includes fellow Miles Davis alumnus Foley on lead bass along with former Weather Reporter Victor Bailey on low-end bass, former Herbie Hancock Headhunters saxophonist Bennie Maupin, the late trumpeter-vocalist Mark Ledford, pianist Patrice Rushen and Lenny's former Twenty-nine band-mate Donald Blackman on synths. Together they show remarkable chemistry on a set of originals that fuses the essence of funk, jazz, rock and soul into an organic whole. This dynamic 1997 performance comes on the heels of two highly successful studio albums - 1995's 'Present Tense' and 1996's 'Renderers of Spirit'.
Personnel: Lenny White (drums), Mark Ledford (trumpet), Bennie Maupin (saxophones), Foley (lead bass), Patrice Rushen, Donald Blackman (keyboards), Victor Bailey (bass)
