    Jason Robinson and Anthony Davis Dates Available in 2012-2014

    Jason Robinson and Anthony Davis dates available in 2012-2014 “[For Robinson and Davis,] mood and interplay are more important than volume or scale.” -Ron Wynn, JazzTimes Magazine “[A] consummate summation of the jazz tradition in its most conversational and fundamental form.” -Troy Collins, All About Jazz “almost Ellingtonian in their lapidary elegance and beauty, highlighting the richness of Davis’ chordal voicings and Robinson’s big, brawny, Ben Webster-ish tone on tenor.” -The Stash Dauber “[I]nspired by their mutual passion for the music of Duke Ellington and spohisticated blues forms in a variety of hues, [their duet] is by turns lyrical and edgy, inviting and challenging. It’s steeped in jazz traditions that are handily extended, which is Robinson’s raison d’etre for making music.” -George Varge, San Diego Union-Tribune Moody, stark, and emotionally charged. Captured on their critically acclaimed debut recording Cerulean Landscape (Clean Feed, 2010), Robinson and pianist Anthony Davis have collaborated for more than ten years as a duo. Telepathic interplay, inspired improvisation, and dynamic original compositions carry listeners to a brilliant and evocative soundscape marked by emotional subtlety, a vast array of sounds, and poignant melodicism. With Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, and the post- 60s jazz avant-garde as central reference points, Robinson and Davis bring together their formidable experience in many different music worlds, spilling over the traditional boundaries of the horn/piano duo. One moment minimalist, another orchestral, another beautifully melodic – their duo invites us into a sound world of deep blues, a place of surreal horizons, intense emotions, and hypnotic melodies.

Dave Douglas is widely recognized as one of the most important and original American musicians to emerge from the jazz and improvised music scene of the last decade. His collaborations as a trumpeter read like a who's who of important contemporary artists: John Zorn, Joe Lovano, Bill Frisell, Don Byron, Steve Lacy, Anthony Braxton, Myra Melford, Andy Bey, Trisha Brown, Henry Grimes, Tom Waits, Rabih Abou-Khalil, DJ Olive, Ikue Mori, Han Bennink, Misha Mengelberg, Uri Caine, Roswell Rudd, Andrew Cyrille, Marc Ribot, Karsh Kale, Mark Dresser, Marty Ehrlich, and many others. For the past half decade Dave Douglas has repeatedly been named trumpeter, composer, and jazz artist of the year by such organizations as the New York Jazz Awards, Down Beat, Jazz Times, and Jazziz. Dave Douglas is “an original thinker blessed with a seemingly bottomless well of intriguing ideas,” writes Howard Reich. Since 1993, Douglas has released 21 albums of original music, and has appeared on over one hundred recordings. His 2000 album “Soul on Soul”, was voted “Album of the Year” by DownBeat.
