Trombonist Robin Jessome is currently based in Kitchener/Waterloo and performing around the Tri-Cities as well as Hamilton and Toronto, making loud and intriguing creative music. Robin like things dark, with a quirky sense-of-humour — deeply influenced by the likes of Carla Bley, Tom Waits, Kenny Wheeler and Charles Mingus.
Originally from Nova Scotia, Robin received a Bachelor of Music at St. Francis Xavier University (2003) and then completed a Master of Music in Jazz Performance at the University of Toronto (2009). While at UofT he studied trombone with William Carn and Terry Promane; composition with Phil Nimmons and David Braid.
Robin says: “This is the music that made me; distilled from the songs and sounds of vaguely recalled moments and memories. Music I absorbed from my record-collecting father and the music I loved growing up that laid the foundations of my musical identity. This ensemble is a vehicle to explore and deconstruct that music and filter it through my own experiences and perspective”.
