Larry Appelbaum talks with multi-instrumentalist, composer, author, and publisher Andrew White. The conversation touches on the artist's studies in classical music and jazz at Howard University, Tanglewood, and the Paris Conservatory, and nearly 60 years of performing and recording with musicians from Stevie Wonder to the JFK Quintet, the 5th Dimension, and Weather Report. White was known for his exhaustive knowledge of the music of John Coltrane, evidenced by his 840 transcriptions of Coltrane's improvisations. Appelbaum discusses the art and practice of transcription with the artist and the more than 2,500 self-produced recordings and publications he distributed through his company Andrew's Music. They review the history of the Washington, D.C. jazz scene in which Andrew White was such a remarkable figure. This conversation was made possible by the Reva & David Logan Foundation as part of the Library of Congress Jazz Scholars program.
