From the planting of a single tiny acorn, White Canvas has flowered, grown and developed a sound that in two short years is so good it practically wears a halo and has no need for repentance for anything it does.

Two years after making their debut as part of the Liverpool International Jazz Festival at the Capstone Theatre, White Canvas returned to the stage inside the acoustically captivating building.  What transpired, what was placed before the audience was music of an intrepid, fearless and enjoyable nature, resolute in undertaking, serious enough to appeal to the purist and yet with the subtle side wink of the cheeky added to give it body and grace.

As debuts go, to be given a rousing reception before you start playing and a wonderful closing applause which resonated around the glass panels of the Capstone Theatre, the four men who make up the Jazz combo White Canvas couldn’t have asked for a much better start to their music career. In response the audience were given an insight into what awaits them in the coming months and hopefully years ahead as the music, sometimes sweet, all together delightful and completely delicious, resounded through the huge audience that had gathered in the auditorium.
