Join us for a live taping and listening-room concert for the Brian Donohoe Quartet! Brian Donohoe – Saxophone Bruce Saunders – Guitar James Suter – Bass Michael Longoria – Drums Oscar-nominated musician and composer Brian Donohoe has performed and recorded around the world and across a bewildering variety of genres. From Bruno Mars and the Black Pumas to early works of Snarky Puppy and his own funk-fusion band, Progger, Brian has contributed to countless performances and productions in jazz, funk, soul, R&B, rock, hip-hop, and soundtrack music. Growing up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Brian’s early love of jazz, art-rock, and soundtracks was juxtaposed with significant exposure to hip hop, gangsta rap, and death metal. While keenly aware of the challenging social and economic issues in his community, he was fortunate to grow up in a loving and highly musical household, playing his mom’s piano and dad’s guitar from an early age. By high school he played bass in a psychedelic rock band, piano and saxophone with jazz groups, and clarinet in the Albuquerque Youth Symphony. While studying music at the University of North Texas and recording four albums with the Grammy-nominated One O’clock Lab Band, he formed friendships with a crew of young musicians that would go on to become Snarky Puppy and contributed several compositions to the Grammy-winning group’s early records. For the decade that followed, Brian bounced around between Dallas, Austin, and New York City working as a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and arranger while producing four albums and numerous North American tours with his beloved Progger friends. Since settling in Austin in 2018, Brian has worked frequently with Adrian Quesada, the Grammy-winning producer, guitarist, Prince alumnus, and leader of the Black Pumas. In addition to Adrian’s solo records, “Boleros Psicodélicos” and “Jaguar Sound,” Brian contributed arrangements to Quesada-produced artists Molly Burch, Jaime Wyatt, the Black Pumas, and Abraham Alexander. Brian serves on the faculty of Austin Community College teaching composition and piano, and he’s a proud member of the Recording Academy and the American Federation of Musicians (local 433). He enjoys studying kung fu, spends as much time in nature as he can get away with, and loves hanging out with his brilliant wife. He writes and records in his home studio as much as possible when he isn’t flying out to do work for the occasional pop superstar.

Join us for a live taping and listening-room concert for the Jazz Purveyor Presents: Scott Robinson and Friends | Night One! Scott Robinson – Saxophone Mike Sailors – Trumpet Ross Margitza – Piano Ryan Hagler – Bass Daniel Dufour – Drums “Jazz Futurist, Mad Scientist… There’s no one else doing anything close to what Mr. Robinson is doing.” – Wall Street Journal “Vividly realized” – New York Times “A beautiful tenor player… Like a careful shopper, choosing just the right notes.” – Tenor Legend Benny Golson One of today's most wide-ranging instrumentalists, Scott Robinson has been heard on tenor with Chet Baker, trumpet with Lionel Hampton, alto clarinet with Paquito D'Rivera, and on bass sax with the NYC Opera. On these and other instruments including theremin and ophicleide, he has been heard with jazz's greats representing nearly every imaginable style of the music. Primarily a tenor saxophonist, Scott’s discography exceeds 275 recordings, including collaborations with Frank Wess, Hank Jones, Joe Lovano, Ron Carter, Bob Brookmeyer, Toshiko Akiyoshi, even They Might Be Giants. He’s performed with Maria Schneider Orchestra for three decades, appearing on David Bowie’s final recording. His releases as a leader have garnered five-star reviews from Leonard Feather, DownBeat Magazine, Wall Street Journal and respected sources worldwide. Scott’s recent album Tenormore, won Best Album of the Year in the JazzTimes readers poll, and rated “Indispensable” by France’s Jazz Hot magazine. Scott has performed in some 60 nations, in such venues as Carnegie Hall, Village Vanguard, the Library of Congress, and the Vienna Opera House. His appearances for dignitaries include a U.S. Presidential Inauguration, and a command performance honoring the birthday of the king of Thailand. As a performer, leader, sideman, or Artist-in-Residence, he has been invited to more jazz festivals globally than we could possibly begin to name here. Scott has participated in numerous Grammy-winning and nominated recordings, and received four fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts. He has been profiled in the Encyclopedia of Jazz and Grove's Dictionary of Jazz, along with books by Nat Hentoff and others, and once was featured on CNN. At his home near New York City, Scott has constructed a studio/laboratory for sonic research, containing an astonishing assortment of instruments and devices including the bass marimba that Sun Ra recorded with in the 1960s. Many adventurous recordings from this facility have appeared on his own ScienSonic Laboratories imprint. Scott's collaborators on these projects include Frank Kimbrough, Julian Thayer, Henry Grimes, Roscoe Mitchell, Milford Graves and Marshall Allen. ScienSonic's recordings have been certified by the Space Foundation as Certified Space Imagination Products. Scott is an endorsing artist for Vandoren Reeds, and is signed to Denis Wick of London for brass. As a composer his works cover a wide range, from jazz tunes to large scale combined orchestras. He is currently at work on his one-man improvised symphonic recording, Reach for Tomorrow. After nearly four years of daily work, approximately 9½ minutes of fully-mixed music for 140 instruments has been realized. This project will take an estimated 12-15 years to complete. A respected performer in all areas of jazz, Scott Robinson has arrived at his own unique musical voice which, as once described in a North Sea Jazz Festival program, "combines solid foundations with great daring". We are thrilled for the opportunity to host the one and only, Scott Robinson. Presented by The Jazz Purveyor.
