Writings about Music

The Musician's Show featuring Michael Robinson

Enjoyed being interviewed about my music and influences along with the tracks played listed below. Lee Konitz and Jackie McLean are two of my favorite jazz musicians among others that might also have been included. Previously, I've been a guest of the New Music Department at WKCR many times, this being the first invitation from the Jazz Department reflecting how my music is perhaps unclassifiable while touching different genres simultaneously, related to the In All Languages (World Music) and Classical departments as well. My musician side is one with my composer side given how I create the performances of my compositions for Meruvina. During the last few years, I've also begun recording piano improvisations, ancillary to my composed music for Meruvina.
