Lenny White: Jazz Musician in New York

About Lenny White

Lenny White is an American drummer whose work helped define the contours of jazz fusion in the 1970s, including his tenure with Chick Corea’s Return to Forever. He moves easily between electric-era propulsion and the elastic time feel of straight-ahead jazz. In New York City, he appears at Smoke Jazz & Supper Club, including the trio setting with Nicholas Payton and Buster Williams. His playing favors forward motion and sharp ensemble listening over display.
