Saxophonist Pete Robbins Does the Hate Laugh Shimmy
By Virginia Prescott on Thursday, May 15, 2008.
listen:
What do you get when an aspiring horn player grows up listening to guitar rock, sampled hip-hop, funk and probably a fair bit of Miles Davis’ electric jazz phase? You get a fresh new sound from rising jazz saxophonist Pete Robbins. His new album is Do the Hate Laugh Shimmy. The title comes from a poem by E.E. Cummings. The poet’s rhythmic verse is an inspiration for Robbins, who joins us to talk about his work.
On a somewhat related note, photos by legendary jazz photographer Herman Leonard are on display in New York. Click here for details.
