Brought up in a musical family, and taught violin/viola from an early age, Rob’s musical journey was transformed as an adult by a recurring childhood memory of a saxophone in the window of a junk shop in Bath. And so starts his exploration of improvisation, composition and jazz.
Currently, Rob plays tenor saxophone in the jazz septet Mixed Salad, a product of the Bristol Jazz Workshop that he has attended for many years, and composes and plays saxophone and bass clarinet for music and spoken word projects with the acclaimed poets Chris Waters and Chris Fogg under the name of Que Pasa? a collaboration that has produced three different shows. The latest Que Pasa? show Antlers was premiered in 2026.
