"Wildy spontaneous..." "Robinson shines... Provocative and rewarding,
Tandem makes it clear that Robinson's artistic evolution should
be most fruitful." "wildly creative" Robinson "brings some humor into the traditionally
dour world of experimental music" "stimulating" "sessions of scouring and mercilessly carcinogenic improvisation;
speak softly, and carry a big sax" "Robinson's special gift is an emotional
intensity that keeps things at the boiling point." "Robinson plays his tenor with singes of fire." "Long gone are the days when things West Coast
were considered pallid in relation to anything East Coast, and for any
of the doubters out there, here's the proof positive." |

Hans Fjellestad/Peter Kowald/Dana

Cosmologic Syntaxis
(Circumvention
035) San Diego/Amherst-based quartet recorded this new release at Spruce Street Forum in San Diego while on tour in March of 2002. Syntaxis demonstrates a strong connection to the "free" jazz of the 1960s, but with a decidedly modern resonance - new compositions stretch the possibilities of the horns/bass/drums group, and the inclusion of live electronics widens traditional sonic boundaries. "Wildly spontaneous" - Los Angeles Times |
