For those unaware, gearing up for the release of his highly anticipated 17th album Light of Day in early 2025, veteran guitarist and contemporary jazz icon Peter White is celebrating a series of key personal and professional milestones.

Having just turned 70, the British born artist says of the new collection, “I think this recording is one of the best I’ve ever made. I have as much enthusiasm and energy for music as I did in my twenties!”

Over the course of his 35- year recording career, White has had four #1 Billboard Contemporary Jazz Albums and seven #1 Smooth Jazz Airplay hits.

1. Catalonia [featuring Rick Braun] (4:42)
2. Cityscape (6:17)
3. Carefree (4:08)
4. Till I See You Again (3:48)
5. Overdrive [featuring Ilya Serov] (5:53)
6. I Love You Still [featuring Vincent Ingala] (5:12)
7. Dreaming of You (5:30)
8. Odyssey (8:05)
9. Enchanted [featuring Ernie Watts] (4:39)
10. Light of Day (6:02)

This beautifully crafted and wholly impassioned new recording opens on the spirited Catalonia (featuring Rick Braun) and then we get the studious Cityscape, the free flowing musical majesties of Carefree, the beautifully sanguine Till I See You Again and then the percussion-led, guitar-fed, pop-suave bounce of Overdrive (featuring Ilya Serovis) brought forth.

Along next is the all-embracing loveliness of I Love You Still (featuring Vincent Ingala) and the veritably translucent Dreaming of You and they are in turn backed by the aesthetically charming Odyssey, the wistful Enchanted (featuring Ernie Watts), the music coming to an all-too-soon close on the vibrantly colorful title track Light of Day.
