On a smooth jazz hype? then Peter White is your man. Hailing from the vibrant town of Luton, England, White plays his guitar like it is a velvet cravat rapped lightly around a slender neck, which is pecking rhythmically to the grooves that chime out from White's speakers. White has performed alongside many greats but is perhaps best known for his 20-year collaboration with Al Stewart, who gave White a go at a performance after one of his band members dropped out. He has also worked with the singer Basia Trzetrzelewska, and his brother Danny White, forming the group Matt Bianco, although this was a short-lived affair as Basia ands broth left to launch the singer's solo career. White's solo efforts have been favourites amongst jazz DJs and smooth jazz radio stations, releasing 13 albums with the last being "Here We Go" which came out in 2012.
Peter often uses a nylon guitar, which helps to create his soft, delicate tone. He performs regularly in various outfits but always maintaining his delectably smooth guitar style, with gentle but nimble scalic runs and jazzy chordal harmonies. Seeing him play at the Samsung Hall in Philippines, his stage demeanour was full of humour, reacting to his licks as if arriving from another source, pantomiming confusion. Yet clearly the soul lives within White himself, offering the audience jazz which simply could not be smoother.
