Robeone: If You Don’t Know What It Is, It Must Be Jazz

Robeone plays every sound on this album with more keyboards than most music stores on this wide ranging collection of originals. There’s a fun stop-start  mad dash with some violin and trumpet sounds on the free bopper “A Lovely Bit Of Squirrel”, while a deep electric bass groove gets down and dirty on the hip blueser “Fish In The Cupboard”. Some festive Asian harmonies and spacey soloing make for Weather Reportish fusion on “Fox In The Freezer” and there are some hairpin turns on the busy and traffic jam session of “Sit”. This guy’s got gobs of ideas, and they all stick to the wall once thrown.
