  • A Peter White Christmas with Rick Braun and Mindi Abair Brings the Sounds of the Season to Parker Playhouse
    November 20, 2015 Media Contact: Savannah Whaley Pierson Grant Public Relations 954-776-1999 ext. 225 Jan Goodheart, Broward Center 954-765-5814 A PETER WHITE CHRISTMAS WITH RICK BRAUN AND MINDI ABAIR BRINGS THE SOUNDS OF THE SEASON TO PARKER PLAYHOUSE FORT LAUDERDALE – Celebrate the holidays with A Peter White Christmas with Rick Braun and Mindi Abair at Parker Playhouse on Saturday, December 12 at 8 p.m. One of the most versatile and prolific acoustic guitarists, White leads the contemporary jazz lineup in this seasonal concert combining smooth jazz cheer with traditional Christmas classics such as “White Christmas” and “Silent Night,” plus a few surprises along the way. White launched his career as a keyboardist touring with Al Stewart and worked with him in the studio on the classic album Year of the Cat. The tour and that album marked the beginning of a 20-year association with Stewart. During that time, the two musicians co-wrote numerous songs, including Stewart’s 1978 hit, “Time Passages.” After years as a backup musician and a session player, White launched his solo recording career and his annual Christmas tour is fueled by the success of his two highly regarded holiday albums, Songs of the Season (1997) and A Peter White Christmas (2007). Braun adds his stylistically eclectic trumpeting to the mix. A consistent chart-topper who has amassed a catalogue of #1 Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart and radio hits throughout his solo career, Braun has also produced #1 hits for David Benoit, Marc Antoine and former Rod Stewart band sidekick Jeff Golub.

One of the most well-known saxophone artists in the world, Kirk Whalum’s music has been described as "soulful", "passionate" and "stirring". Kirk is playing the JodyJazz HR* Tenor 8 with the HRT1 POWER RING Ligature. “Kirk Whalum has one of the most recognized saxophone sounds on the planet, and we could not be prouder that he is now playing our mouthpieces,” said JodyJazz Founder and President Jody Espina. “Kirk had the opportunity to try some of the JodyJazz HR* Tenor mouthpieces and quickly fell in love. We are delighted to welcome him to the JodyJazz family of artists.” Kirk’s unmistakable big, rich tenor sound is deeply rooted in his Memphis, gospel background and was honed in the nightclubs of Houston, Texas. It was here that Kirk also developed his songwriting skills and first lead his own bands. It was also in Houston where acclaimed jazz pianist Bob James “discovered” him and brought him on tour. This then led to five successful albums with Columbia Records, including 'Cache', Kirk’s first #1 album, and in addition, Kirk and Bob received a Grammy nomination for their collaboration album 'Joined at the Hip'.
