Release date: March, 2002

Excerpt from liner notes:
The World of Doug White is one
where the attempt to create
compelling and personal music
vies with an earnest desire
not to take itself too seriously.
There is always room for real
emotion in his world however,
and the music is never "smug"
or "glib". He grew
up admiring and studying early
20th century jazz artists whose
sole ambition was to create
their own unique and identifiable
sounds. His mostly "home-grown"
technique, (aided and abetted
by mentors including the late
Warne Marsh and Joe Puma), will
probably assure his exclusion
from the ranks of the ever-accumulating
"Flavor of the Month"
list.
White feels that a good musical
effort should resemble a good
chess move in which more than
one agenda is furthered in one
stroke. This is the core concept
behind the Juniper Records label,
which enables him to advance
the causes of his hand picked
group of colleagues along with
his own. White is currently
planning a "JATAP"
style show that will feature
the various Juniper Records
artists in various combinations
performing music from their
albums, which will underscore
this idea.
