8pm show $15
10pm show $10

Swingin’ and straight-from-the-heart vocals from an adventuresome jazz infused singer, Ellen Robinson has loads of presence and a diverse selection of songs, which includes many of her own magical originals. Definitely “a singer’s singer,” Ms Robinson is known for her impeccable timing and clever phrasing while making it all sound oh-so-easy and effortless.

“This singer delivers from the heart. That’s her forte. Each song has a story to tell and she does so with clarity and warmth. She just lets it fly and what happens is a lovely melodic parade." All About Jazz

With a bevy of sold out shows at top regional venues, Ellen Robinson invites you to celebrate her first appearance at Yoshi’s by being part of a live recording for her next CD. Ms Robinson has put together her "dream band" of four highly simpatico players who totally immerse themselves in her music: the multi talented Murray Low, nominated for 2008 Pianist of the Year by the Latin Jazz Corner and also known for his swingin’ piano chops; Sam Bevan, much in demand as a bassist who is solid on every possible groove from hard bop to jazz funk; drummer Bud Spangler, Grammy nominated CD producer and former KCSM and KJAZZ radio host who lays down a tasty beat drawing on his Detroit roots; and Kristen Strom, one of the finest contemporary sax players having recorded on more than 25 CD’s with various jazz artists in addition to leading her own quintet.
