Trevor Robertson @trevorrobertson
Double bass
About
I am a New York City-based bassist, originally from Troy, MI. I have a bachelor’s of music from Wayne State University, where I studied double bass with Paul Keller and Larry Hutchinson. I have performed alongside Joshua Redman, Jason Moran, Ali Jackson, Takuya Kuroda, Stacy Dillard, Duane Eubanks, Spike Wilner, Saul Rubin, Yotam Silberstein, and many others. I have performed at venues including Carnegie Hall, Orchestra Hall (Detroit, MI), Ornithology Jazz Club (Brooklyn, NY) and others. I am passionate about utilizing the double bass’s full potential as both a supporting and leading instrument, and about composing music that speaks to the experiences of life. My compositions focus on themes of spirituality, grief, healing, and rebirth.

"A great evening overall. Beautiful and unique music plus great execution of some jazz standards."
- Melanie M., past guest at Contemporary Jazz in the Garden
Music
I typically play a wide range of genres in the jazz idiom: bebop, hard bop, post-bop, avant-garde, free jazz, Latin jazz, trad jazz, and manouche/Gypsy jazz. My original compositions draw on the traditions of jazz, rock, funk, Western classical, and Yoruba/Lucumí worship music.
