I love doing living room concerts. There’s a closeness with the audience that one can never find in a big concert hall. Every detail and sound can be heard and the audience is breathing with you. I truly try to connect to the sounds coming from every part of the room. And what better way to do this than playing the music or Ornette Coleman. Enjoy!

Here’s a little flashback from our March Liftoff

Here’s a little flashback from our March Liftoff tour. This is a version of the title track live @bimhuis Amsterdam. What an amazing energy between this legendary rhythm section of Drew Gress and Billy Hart. Being on stage with them really feels like taking off in a rocket ship. Next tour coming in October!

Born from a profound voyage to the heart of Senega

Born from a profound voyage to the heart of Senegal, this piece dives deep into the origins of rhythm, where West African drumming pulses like a heartbeat, connecting us to an ancient, collective memory.
In the villages of Senegal, rhythm isn’t just music—it’s language, tradition, and a way of life.

Robin immersed himself in this world, letting the vibrant syncopations and intricate polyrhythms guide him. But this title doesn’t stop at rhythm. It blends these roots with the soulful harmony of jazz, crafting a soundscape that’s both timeless and groundbreaking.

Each note is a dialogue: the drums evoke the earth’s primal energy, while the harmonies elevate the spirit, creating a bridge between tradition and innovation.

It’s a tribute to where jazz began and a vision of where it can go.

Here you can hear the moment of discovery and inspiration, the studio version and how it develops live.

I love those moments at soundcheck when everything

I love those moments at soundcheck when everything is just flowing from the first moment. Both Drew and Billy had landed from NYC that morning but there’s absolutely no sign of jet lag in their playing. This is a snippet of Trippin in Times Square, a composition by Marc Copland. Tonight the European tour continues @omconcerts , Sunday @bimhuis , Monday @abconcerts and Tuesday @lebalblomet
