MAY 2008 Spring is in the air and so is the sultry exchange of guitar and sax melodies, as the Guitars and Saxes 2008 tour continues! After a short stop at Pizza Express last month, Peter will rejoin his smooth jazz “high rollers” (Gerald Albright, Jeff Golub, and Jeff Lorber) when they take the stage in Las Vegas. A G&S show in Vegas? Well that my friends, is a hand you just can’t lose! The G&S tour carries on through the summer and anyone who’s seen a G&S show knows it’s a sure bet! A very BIG thank you to all of those Caravaners who voted for Peter in the Canadian Smooth Jazz Awards! With award winners Michael Buble, Diana Krall, and Randy Crawford, it seemed only fitting to have Peter nestled within that bunch of stellar musicians. For a recap and a full list of winners (and possibly a picture of “you know who!”), go to www.canadiansmoothjazzawards.com. |

| DECEMBER 2007 A gentle snow is falling to the ground, the Christmas tree is up, the stockings are hung, the smell of hot apple cider and cinnamon wafts through the house, and you’re about to lie down for a long winter’s nap. But what’s missing from this wonderful holiday picture? Why, the merry sounds of a “Peter White Christmas!” Make your holiday season complete by purchasing Peter’s joyful new CD with fellow “elves,” Mindi Abair and Rick Braun. There’s still time snap up this holiday goody for yourself or loved one and insert into their stockings before the big day!

Plus, some offer free shipping (with a minimum purchase) AND you might be able to get before Christmas So don’t wait, order it post haste! |
| Tired of crowded shopping malls, finding a parking space, or one too many in-laws staying at your house for the holiday season? Well, treat yourself to see Peter, Mindi, and Rick live! It’s one thing to listen to a “Peter White Christmas” on your home stereo, it’s another to hear to merry music live and in person!

Smooth Jazz photographer and PW fan Sherry Fisher is spotlighting Peter this month on her website. You can see archive pics of PW plus up-to-the-minute stuff from last week! Sherry's site is at http://www.smoothjazzart.com/ Talking of the PW archive, Caravan newsletter supremo Denise Barton has sent in this YouTube link to a performance by Basia on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno a few years back. PW can be spotted in the band, behind a Fender Stratocaster (unusually). MAY 2007 Below - The latest Caravan gathering of loyal fans was at Jazz On The Vine in Osthoff, WI, on May 11th where Caravaners met up with PW after the show, posed for this picture and then got together with him at the nearest watering hole. A good time was had by all!
The Jazz Attack tour is in full swing; see the tour page for details. Left to right: Rick Braun, Richard Elliot, Jonathan Butler and PW. Pic by Steve Shiroma, from the Las Vegas gig last month.

There are also clips from the Maui festival with Dave Koz and the Smooth Jazz Cruise 2004.
The gig was, of course, a total blast! The band included Jaared on sax and Peter's brother Danny on keyboards. The set climaxed with a frenetic version of the old Matt Bianco hit "Get out your lazy bed", with PW taking the lead vocal and reading the lyrics!
