Whether playing jazz standards, original compositions, or a nod at rock and pop musicians, Robin always delights his audiences with a show of special splendor and style.
In addition to his busy schedule as a performer, Robin is also known as a passionate instructor. He’s released some of the most important gypsy jazz instructional books, CDs and videos in the past ten years. His play-along CDs and Gig Book have been the foundation of study and jam sessions for thousands of guitarist worldwide.
