    Robinson draws his major inspiration from the Great American Songbook, and lovers of jazz and classic pop singing are drawing inspiration from Robinson's recently released CD, Some Small Dive. As Dan McClenaghan from All About Jazz put it, "Like the very best in this game -- Sinatra or Tony Bennett -- Robinson makes it all sound so effortless on this truly superb vocal jazz outing." His style is elegant and refined, but always swinging. And as he works his way through the jazz standards of composers like Cole Porter and Rodgers & Hart, and new classics from writers like Elvis Costello and Dave Frishberg, Robinson's delivery is emotionally direct and musically sophisticated. Robinson is dedicated now to the wonders of jazz, but he began his career at 16 as a classical singer, studying voice and music theory with a San Francisco Opera baritone. He went on to perform in London, Los Angeles, Seattle and Boston. "I always figured that in my next life, I'd be a crooner," he says. "I'm glad I didn't have to wait that long." Robinson's recent collaborators have included some of the best artists on the local scene, including Alan Steger, Lee Bloom, Noel Jewkes and Fred Randolph.
