Recognized early for his exceptional talent, Scott Robinson received the Louis Armstrong Award and the Best Soloist Award from the National Association of Jazz Educators during high school, going on to graduate from Berklee College of Music in 1981. The following year, in 1982, he was appointed the youngest faculty member at Berklee, marking the start of a distinguished career that saw him contribute to over 275 LP and CD releases, with 20 under his own leadership. Since moving to New York in 1984, Robinson’s work has earned him four fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and contributed to four Grammy Award-winning recordings. Robinson’s multifaceted career includes extensive collaborations with a diverse array of jazz greats such as Frank Wess, Roscoe Mitchell, Ruby Braff, Joe Lovano, Ron Carter, and Paquito D’Rivera, as well as an unexpected collaboration with David Bowie.
Through ScienSonic Laboratories and his ongoing collaborations, he consistently pushes artistic boundaries and champions unique sounds, solidifying his reputation as an innovator and master multi-instrumentalist whose work is both critically acclaimed and culturally significant.
