Multi-instrumentalist/composer Scott Robinson has been a highly active presence on the New York-based jazz scene for more than 35 years, appearing on some 280 CDs. He has been heard on tenor sax with Buck Clayton, on alto clarinet with Paquito D’Rivera, 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 and Roscoe Mitchell. In 2001 he performed in eleven West African nations during an 8-week tour as a U.S. Jazz Ambassador. 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. 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 a dozen collaborative efforts with Roscoe Mitchell, Marshall Allen, Henry Grimes, Milford Graves, and many others, as well as “Bronze Nemesis,” Scott’s suite of original compositions based on pulp adventure novels of the 1930s. The Scott Robinson Quartet recently released “Tenormore” on Arbors Records, which won the distinction of “Best New Release of 2019” in JazzTimes, as well as appearing in numerous other best-of-year lists.
