Trumpeter Herb Robertson doesn't plug into any musical trend, whether it's hard bop, repertory, or fusion. He's among a handful of contemporary players who defy easy compartmentalization while striving for their own voice and sound. The results can be successful, irritating, chaotic, or uneventful, but they're never dull or predictable. ~ Ron Wynn
Professional Reviews
