Folk Meets Jazz

Jennifer Robin began composing music on the piano at the tender age of 10. As a teenager, she attended a Joni Mitchell concert and was inspired to play and compose music on the guitar as well. When she heard her voice amplified for the first time, she was hooked on performing! Almost entirely self taught, Jennifer listened to her favorite artists exhaustively while she developed and honed her craft. In the years since, Jennifer has emerged as a serious musical talent with her own distinctive brand of jazz/folk music. Her debut album, Fish Up a Tree, received critical acclaim and solid airplay on jazz and college stations, as well as on National Public Radio. In addition, the album was voted as one of the Top Ten Favorite Adult Alternative Releases in the radio trade magazine The Gavin Report. Her next album, Eye Of The Storm, was released in Japan and Southeast Asia, and was given high ratings in both Stereo Magazine and Swing Journal. In 2000, Jennifer developed her own label, Risky Robin Records, and released Nonodey to glowing reviews. Jennifer performs regularly in Los Angeles, and has several exciting projects in development, including her unique adaptations of Beatles songs entitled The Bird and the Beatles.

In my view Jennifer Robin proves to be not only a great singer but a great songwriter as well. Her cd Nonodey is magnificent. This good-looking woman sings her remarkable personal (self-penned) songs with a velvet voice that reminds me of Joni Mitchell, Rickie Lee Jones and other famous singers. Her music is an improbable marriage between folk and jazz. Ideal record for midwinter nights!
