Chris has studied and performed with many talented musicians including his own band who are known as Playtime. White is a contemporary composer who plays both guitar and keyboards. His music is a magical blend of jazz and R&B with plenty of heart and soul. Chris's songs flow on fluid rhythms and smooth melodies. His arrangements are complex, utilizing a variety of tempos and techniques. This fifteen-track CD features first-rate instrumentals and quality vocal numbers. 'Parade' is the strong opener. It is a pageant of both whimsical and serious textures and tones. The song features sax, bagpipes and even an Irish tin whistle. It is a dynamic start that sets the vibe for the rest of the CD. 'Bayou City' was written for Chris's older brother who introduced White to Earl Klugh and David Sanborn, possible inspirations to this spicy instrumental. '9 Days' captures the euphoric feel of new love with a sexy saxophone and cool beat. 'Goodbye' is a classic jazz instrumental and a solid close for a collection that shines from start to finish. Chris White and Playtime are stellar and Hideaway is a jazz CD with plenty of pizzazz!

Very, very tasty!
This CD goes way beyond just "guitar" music.
White is clearly an accomplished composer that can write excellent music in many styles.
