Throughout his lifetime Al White combined his love for jazz and photography to book and to promote world-class jazz musicians and to publish "Jazz Party," a superb jazz and photography collection. Alfred Popkess "Al" White Jr. was born on Feb. 12, 1928, at Little Rock, Ark., to Alfred Popkess White Sr. and Mary Nell White. White spent much of his early childhood in Russellville and Pine Bluff being influenced by his mother's love for jazz. Like his mother, White began collecting jazz records and became a lifelong fan of jazz music.
