Scott Robinson was born on April 27, 1959, in Pompton Plains, New Jersey, and grew up in an eighteenth-century Virginia farmhouse. His musical foundation began early, with his mother being a piano teacher. While in high school, he received the “Louis Armstrong Award” and the “Best Soloist Award” from the National Association of Jazz Educators. He continued his education at Berklee College of Music, graduating in 1981. The following year, at the age of 22, he became the youngest faculty member at Berklee, marking the start of a distinguished career.
Since moving to New York in 1984, Robinson has built a multifaceted career, appearing on over 275 LP and CD releases, with 20 under his own leadership. His collaborations span a wide range of jazz greats including Frank Wess, Roscoe Mitchell, Ruby Braff, Joe Lovano, Ron Carter, Paquito D’Rivera, and David Bowie. Notably, he has performed with the Grammy-winning Maria Schneider Orchestra for over 25 years. Four of the recordings he contributed to have received Grammy Awards. He has also received four fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, recognizing his contributions to music.
In 2000, the U.S. State Department appointed him a jazz ambassador for 2001, funding an eight-week, eleven-country tour of West Africa. During this tour, he performed arrangements of Louis Armstrong’s early works, later released on his album “Jazz Ambassador: Scott Robinson Plays the Compositions of Louis Armstrong” by Arbors Records. Robinson is also known for his commitment to keeping unusual instruments in performance, such as the C-melody saxophone, ophicleide, and contrabass saxophone. Since 2009, he has managed his own record label, ScienSonic Laboratories, which has released several innovative recordings.
