Popis - CHORDS IN BLUE:
Carol Robbins Born in Chicago, Carol Robbins grew up in Los Angeles, where piano lessons at an early age inspired her to experiment with jazz improvisation. By age ten she was studying harp and eventually became one of the handful of students ever accepted by the late pioneering harpist Dorothy Ashby. One of the world’s few jazz harpists, Ms. Robbins has recorded and performed with an eclectic variety of artists including Billy Childs, Manhattan Transfer, Brian Wilson, Bjork, Dianne Reeves, Linda Ronstadt, Nina Simone, Teddy Edwards and Frank Sinatra. Her memorable television credits include Cheers, Frazier and The Tonight Show. Recent highlight appearances have included performances with Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin at the Hollywood Bowl, an appearance with George Benson at The Cerritos Performing Arts Center and engagements as performer and instructor at the Lyon Healy International Jazz Harp Conference in Salt Lake City and The American Harp Society Conference in San Francisco. Ms Robbins and her colleagues in Billy Childs’ Jazz Chamber Ensemble received a Grammy nomination in 2005 for their work on “Lyric Volume 1”. In April of 2010 the group released “Autumn In Moving Pictures” for which it received a second Grammy nomination. Ms Robbins has performed with the group in various cities around the country including Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City and Atlanta. The Ensemble will tour Europe in November. Ms Robbins released her third CD “Jazz Play” in February of 2006. This collection features many of her original compositions and she is joined by a stellar group of jazz musicians. In the coming months Robbins will be appearing in concerts and clubs with her group and with Billy Childs’ Jazz Chamber Ensemble. She will also be involved in teaching the harp in the public schools for the Young Musicians Foundation. Several of Robbins’ jazz arrangements and compositions for harp have been published by Vanderbilt Editions, and her three CDs, “Jazz Play”, “Three And Four” and “Chords in Blue” are available on www.jazzcatsproductions.com, Amazon.com and through many harp-related retailers.
