A Peter White Christmas feat. Rick Braun and Mindi Abair

There's an Englishman in the oversized red suit preparing to slide down the chimney of all the good little smooth jazz fans this holiday season. Peter White returns with Mindi Abair and Rick Braun to Yoshi's Oakland for his annual extravaganza with jazzy versions of seasonal classics, a few original holiday songs and some of their best known hits. The show promises enough fun, funk, jazz and pop to get meanest of Scrooges into the spirit.

Smooth jazz guitarist Peter White's lyrical lines and musical inventiveness are a joy to listen to. The affable Englishman's charm and playfulness come through in his music, giving his style of smooth jazz a liveliness that others in the genre lack.
