James Anthony White (1917-76) American dance-band musician who played all the reeds, but was best known for his alto saxophone. He made very few recordings, but a lot of people liked them. Jay White grew up in Boston, graduated from Commerce High School and the Bentley School of Accounting, but chose music as a career. He enlisted in the U.S. Army as a musician, but was later commissioned as an infantry officer, becoming a company commander for the 82nd Airborne, and participating in the invasion of Normandy and Operation Market Garden in Holland. Back in the USA he often played with or fronted the Harry Marschard Society Orchestra, but was best known as leader of his own small groups, playing at various nightspots in the Boston area (such as Rosie O'Grady's in Back Bay) and in Florida. He was music director at the Statler-Hilton (now the Park Plaza) in Boston c.1968-70. He also sometimes led a bigger band, and allegedly opened for Louis Armstrong on occasion. In the 1970s he moved to San Francisco, where he played with Walt Tolleson's band, and was often featured on KNBR's Saturday night broadcast from the Fairmont Hotel.

A 12-inch LP called Street Scene was issued with identical track listings on Essex, Somerset, Stereo Fidelity and Trans-World; the last two were supposed to be in stereo, but they must have been electronically rechannelled mono. Some or all of the editions of Street Scene had a photograph on the cover of a traffic accident, a visual pun which was a cut above the cheesecake. The album was a compilation of 12 tracks from the earlier 10-inchers; 'Laura' was a two-part arrangement said to have been issued on a single and arranged by Morty Craft. Craft had led dance bands and radio orchestras, then became an A&R man for MGM (where he made an album called Jazz in Black Tie), Mercury and ABC-Paramount, then was hired by the Canadian firm United Telefilm Records to run Warwick, a label that marketed to stereo-hifi buffs; he made a few albums there, but Warwick only lasted a few years. Some of the other tracks on Street Scene have a full orchestra; other tracks have a small group including an organ and a harp.
