colinmce Posted December 11, 2024 Report Posted December 11, 2024 Very sad to hear of the passing of the great Herb Robertson. A truly unique voice in this music, and in my estimation one of the best to ever do it on his instrument. RIP. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted December 11, 2024 Report Posted December 11, 2024 Real bummer news. He was such a unique player. RIP. Quote
HutchFan Posted December 11, 2024 Report Posted December 11, 2024 Sorry to hear this news. R.I.P. Quote
mjazzg Posted December 11, 2024 Report Posted December 11, 2024 Very much enjoyed his performances on a number of JMT releases when I was first listening to Jazz. Saw him in London a couple of times. He was definitely an original and interesting player. Quote
Steve Reynolds Posted December 11, 2024 Report Posted December 11, 2024 One of the greatest “pure” improvisers there ever was. Saw him at a few amazing shows. With Evan Parker, Mat Maneri & Gerry Hemingway to name 3 great great performances. RIP, sir Quote

Expand My favorite Robertson title on JMT: Shades of Bud Powell: Herb Robertson, trumpet, flugelhorn; Brian Lynch, trumpet; Vincent Chancey, French horn; Robin Eubanks, trombone; Bob Stewart, tuba; Joey Baron, drums, percussion.

Joe Posted December 12, 2024 Report Posted December 12, 2024 Interviewed him many years ago: seemed like a really, really good dude. Wonderful and quite versatile player. Quote
