- Summary
- Professor and jazz musician Michael White was born on November 29, 1954 in New Orleans, Louisiana. White, both a scholar and a musician, obtained his B.A. degree from Xavier University in 1976 and his M.A. degree in Spanish from Tulane University in 1979. That same year, White joined the Young Tuxedo Brass Band, and two years later, White founded The Original Liberty Jazz Band with the aim of preserving the musical heritage of New Orleans. In 1984, White earned his Ph.D. in Spanish from Tulane and began teaching Spanish and African American music at Xavier University. In 2002, he was appointed as the first incumbent of the Rosa and Charles Keller Endowed Chair in the Humanities. Three years later, Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, and White lost his collection of jazz memorabilia. In 2008, White received a National Heritage Fellowship Award from the National Endowment of the Arts.
