“I’ve only just begun,”

Those words above are the words of Joe Robinson, a musical pioneer, striving to keep jazz vibrant and thriving.  Joe is a life long resident of Winston-Salem, North Carolina and has captured the hearts of audiences with his music for 40 years.  Joe’s love and inspiration for Mile Davis is recognized in his music. His tasty trumpet solos are quite evident through the songs on his album by putting his own imprint on the originals.

Joe is our artist/father of the week because he is not only a great musician but he’s a loving family man.  Joe has dedicated some of his most  interesting and original work to his grand-daughters in the songs Gabriel’s way and Jasmine’s Dream.  He says in an interview with Busta Brown on WNAA that “These songs represent my grand-daughter’s personalities.  They are an expression of who they are.”  How awesome is that!  All little girls would love to have their father dedicated their passion to show how much they love them.
