The Scott Robinson Quartet will feature: Scott Robinson, Helen Sung, Martin Wind, & Johnathan Blake
Multi-instrumentalist/composer Scott Robinson has been a highly active presence on the New York-based creative music scene for nearly 40 years, appearing on some 280 CDs. Scott performs on both brass and reed instruments, and is equally at home with the traditional and the adventurous. He has been heard on tenor sax with Buck Clayton, on alto clarinet with Paquito DRivera, on trumpet with Lionel Hampton, and on bass sax with the New York City Opera, along with performances alongside as diverse a group of artists as Anthony Braxton, Ruby Braff, Ella Fitzgerald, Clark Terry, Elton John, Bob Brookmeyer, Frank Wess, Chet Baker, Maria Schneider and Roscoe Mitchell. Scott performed in eleven West African nations during an 8-week 2001 tour as a U.S. Jazz Ambassador, and he was a member of the Mingus Band for 30 years. Scott has been the winner of a number of Critics/Readers Polls and Jazz Journalists Association awards in recent years, and has been profiled in The Wall Street Journal, DownBeat magazine, The Encyclopedia of Jazz and many other publications.
As a composer, Scott has created large-scale multimedia works, solo performance pieces, jazz tunes and songs, and chamber pieces. Several of Scotts large-scale works have been performed and recorded by the Gotham Wind Symphony, Orchestra Filarmonica Marchigiana and others, and his chamber works include the ongoing series Immensities for Large Instruments. In 2010, Scott formed ScienSonic Laboratories, an outlet for many exciting and far-reaching projects encompassing what he likes to call Experiential Music for Adventurous Listeners. This label has released more than a dozen collaborative efforts with Roscoe Mitchell, Marshall Allen, Henry Grimes, Milford Graves, and many others, as well as Bronze Nemesis, Scotts suite of original compositions based on pulp adventure novels of the 1930s.
Scotts quartet album Tenormore with Helen Sung, Dennis Mackrel, and Martin Wind was crowned Best New Release of 2019 in the JazzTimes Readers Poll, and was rated Indispensable by Frances Jazz Hot magazine. Scott is currently at work on his one-man improvised symphonic recording, Reach for Tomorrow. After nearly four years of daily work, approximately 9 minutes of fully-mixed music for more than 130 instruments has been realized. This project will take an estimated 12-15 years to complete.
