Selected Clips: Jason Robinson leads a life of fractured multiplicity, dividing his time between a dynamic performance and recording career, teaching activities, organizing efforts, and ethno/musicological research. He's a mainstay of the improvised and popular music scenes on the West Coast (USA), while leading his own jazz groups, collaborating in a variety of improvised and experimental contexts, and touring as a sideman with a number of groups. Robinson has performed and recorded with Peter Kowald, George Lewis, Anthony Davis, Muhal Richard Abrams, Eek a Mouse, Bertram Turetzky, Mel Graves, Marco Eneidi, Mike Wofford, Philip Gelb, Hans Fjellestad, Dana Reason, JD Parran, Gerry Hemingway, and others. In 1998, Robinson founded Circumvention Music, an artist-run independent record label dedicated to support and distribution of improvised musics. Robinson is a founding member of the Trummerflora Collective, a San Diego-based organization dedicated to the support of improvised and experimental music. |
Tandem Jason Robinson pulls together an assorted cast of influential musicians on this conceptual "duo" release. Creating collaborative dialogues with his musical partners, Robinson blurs traditional music boundaries and floats easily between jazz, ambient, electronic and experimental soundscapes. In Robinson's words, "this recording attempts to prove a modest point --- that the 'duo' is a floating signifier, a word without a fixed meaning." "Robinson's special gift is an emotional intensity that keeps things at the boiling point." -- Jazz Now Magazine "Robinson plays his tenor with singes of fire." -- Cadence Magazine "Long gone are the days when things West Coast were considered pallid in relation to anything East Coast, and for any of the doubters out there, here's the proof positive." -- Coda Magazine 14 tracks in 79:51 minutes.
