艺人介绍

by Ron Wynn

Though an often fierce and spirited alto saxophonist, Robin Kenyatta has enjoyed a rather uneven career, particularly in terms of recordings. His best material has been in the hard bop and free vein, where his solos have been both intense and imaginative. Other times hes done more contemporary material thats been overproduced and unmemorable. Kenyatta played with Bill Dixon in the mid-60s, and was featured during a series of New York concerts Dixon co-sponsored called The October Revolution in Jazz. He recorded with The Jazz Composers Orchestra, Roswell Rudd, Sonny Stitt, Dixon, Archie Shepp and Barry Miles in the mid and late 60s, before heading his own bands. Kenyatta recorded with Alan Silva and Andrew Hill in the 70s. During the late 70s, he had a dismal flirtation with instrumental pop, then in the 80s and 90s has tried to find a comfortable middle ground between fusion, instrumental pop and his hard bop and free music roots. Kenyatta has recorded for Vortex/Atlantic, ECM, ITM and Jazz Dance. He currently has no sessions available on CD as a leader.
