Dr. Arthur White is the director of jazz studies and assistant professor of music at the University
of Missouri. Originally from Kansas, Dr. White holds degrees from Emporia State University
(KS), West Virginia University, and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. White is the
producer and director of the MU Concert Jazz Band CDs Vertigo: the Music of Mike Mainieri (2010),
which was hailed by allaboutjazz.com as “a splendid maiden voyage,” and Tunnel Vision (2011),
referred to by the Columbia Tribune as “engaging, eclectic, and extroverted….a source of delight.”
MU jazz ensembles under Dr. White’s direction have been selected to perform at conferences
for the Jazz Education Network, International Society for Improvised Music, and Missouri Music
Educators Association. Dr. White has recorded with Fred Wesley, Chris Murrell, Scott Wendholt,
Mike Mainieri, Bobby Watson, Henry Johnson, Robin Eubanks, Russell Malone, Mike Metheny,
and jazz legend Dewey Redman. White has arranged music for jazz luminaries Mike Mainieri,
Peter Erskine, Eric Person, Mulgrew Miller, Kevin Mahogany, Henry Johnson, Dewey Redman,
Scott Wendholt, Bobby Watson, Bob Mintzer, Robin Eubanks, Kathy Kosins, Paul Hanson, Russell
Malone, Bob Sheppard, Andy Narell, and Randy Brecker. Several of Dr. White’s arrangements are
published through Second Floor Music.
