Violinist Melissa White Takes Home Grammy

Melissa White, along with her colleagues in Harlem Quartet and Imani Winds, won a Grammy for "Passion for Bach and Coltrane" in the category of Best Classical Compendium. The work was arranged and composed by Jeffrey Scott, and the recording is a collection of original arrangements and newly composed music tying together the work of legendary composer Johann Sebastian Bach and mid-20th-century jazz great John Coltrane. The recording also features orator and poet A.B. Spellman and jazz trio Alex Brown, Edward Perez, and Neal Smith.
