Her sunny personality and generous spirit are the driving forces behind the program. Robin has a unique ability to create a comfortable and knowledgeable climate in her show that lets Jazz artists open up and engage in intimate conversation.

That’s not surprising considering her background. She’s known and lived the entertainment world from the inside out. Robin got her start singing in television commercials as a child. She went on to sing backup for Ike and Tina Turner. Then there was the comedy performance stint with the West Coast improv group “The Committee.”

She’s worked as an entertainment journalist; had business jobs at NBC, Paramount, Infinity Records, EMI Records and ABC Records; and as she puts it, “probably had more jobs than most.”

All this experience gives the Jazz musicians who sit down with Robin the comfortable feeling of talking to someone who knows the business, knows the music and knows what it’s like to “let each instrument be heard.”
