MARK ROBINSON
Jazz Standards
Classic.
American.
Song.
With the swing of Sinatra, the soul of Hartman, and the cool of Connick, Mark Robinson delivers sophisticated jazz crooning. Called "one of the most exciting additions to the Bay Area vocal scene in recent years," Robinson follows in the footsteps of the midcentury masters while putting his own stamp on every phrase. As All About Jazz put it: "Like the very best in this game — Sinatra or Tony Bennett — Robinson makes it all sound so effortless."
Next Gig
I'm making my way back to jazz gigs and very busy with theater and film. Next up: The charming, sly, heartfelt romantic comedy set in New York City's Lower East Side. The play tells the story of Isabelle Grossman, who is determined to shed her neighborhood roots and live the life of an independent Manhattan woman. Her grandmother has other ideas and hires a traditional Jewish marriage broker to set her up with Sam (my character), an unassuming pickle vendor from the neighborhood. Can Sam win her over or will she fall into the arms of Tyler, the big-name author Isabelle met when he gave a reading at the fancy bookstore where she works? We run for five weekends at Ross Valley Playhouse in Marin, starting September 13. (Tix and info here).
