2006: Jason Robinson

Reedist/improviser/composer Jason Robinson leads a life of fractured multiplicity, dividing his time between a dynamic performance and recording career, teaching activities, organizing efforts, ethno/musicological research, and general rabble-rousing. He's a mainstay of the improvised and popular music scene(s) of the West Coast (U.S.) - 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/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, J.D. Parran, Gerry Hemingway, Marcelo Radulovich, Michael Dessen, Sonor and others; and has toured with theater-oriented groups such as the San Francisco Mime Troupe and the New Pickle Circus.
