Every musician is responsible for learning everything about the art form that came before, and advancing it into the next generation. Henry Robinett has catapulted jazz guitar a few generations forward.

While there is some discussion whether the guitar was invented “by” Henry Robinett, hearing him play leaves no doubt that it was invented “for him.” He breathes, the strings sing. He strums, and a symphony of strings ring heavenly hallelujahs, where does he hide all those extra fingers? This concert will be a culmination of his complete body of work. With original collaborator Dr. Joe Gilman on keyboards, all the original tunes will ring familiar, but with a fresh flavor added by Ben Kopf on stand up and electric bass, Cameron Womack on drums and Jacám Manricks on sax.
