The little-known University of Winnipeg Downtown Vocal Jazz Choir, directed by jazz musician and music teacher Helen White, will be performing a concert on Dec. 5 at 7 p.m. in Eckhart-Gramatté Hall. The group, which has been performing concerts at the end of every semester since 2008, is made up primarily of students and meets every Sunday from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. in the hall.

The choir performs with a big band, directed by Rob Hrabluk, that also meets on Sundays from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. Anyone interested is encouraged to join for the relaxed, community atmosphere and dedication to good music. For more information on joining contact White via her website at www.helenwhitesings.com.

Mark Rheaume: CBC Radio: Helen White hails from England and made her way to Manitoba through the U.S., at each stage adding more disparate elements to her core singer/songwriter sound. On her debut album “no (nore) dinosaur bones”, hints of pop, jazz and Britpop combine to give her music stand-out appeal from the scores of brilliant roots performers based in her home province. This very strong first efforts makes White a performer to enjoy now and watch out for in the future.

Chris Smith: Winnipeg Free Press: Helen White is a strong, vibrant singer with a sense of herself. ***1/2 — September, 26 2009

Kinzey Posen: Producer ‘The 204’: CBC Radio: ...Helen is also full of surprises where you’re suddenly driven off onto a musical back road that offers a window into her soul. — November 17, 2009

...Also on Saturday, singer Helen White releases her CD no (more) dinosaur bones at Le Garage Café, 166 Provencher Blvd. at 9:30 p.m. The release party has double significance for the British-born White. Besides presenting her CD and some new music, she will be raising money for a U.K. charity called the Musicians Benevolent Fund, which helped her father after he suffered a stroke in 1997. He died in September and White's extended family is having a fundraising concert in London next month, so she is pledging half the $10 CD price to the charity.

White says the show, which is free, will feature 10 new songs as well as material from the CD. She will be backed by guitarist Ariel Posen, bassist Ian Cherry, drummer Glenn Lambert, percussionist and vocalist Marie-Josee Clement, and singers Jodie Borlé and Malissa Magorel. There also will be a set showcasing the singers other than White. The CD is good and I've heard this band put on a hot show at Mardi Jazz.
