Ms Robinson has gathered stellar musicians for the album, including Don Braden who is no slouch on sax and flute, Cyrus Chestnut on piano and bassist Kenny Davis. Sax and piano feature on the title track, using differing time signatures for their solos, very innovative.
Dr. Trineice Robinson-Martin has dedicated her career to performing and developing resources for teaching jazz, gospel/Christian, R&B, rock, country, and pop singing styles in an applied/private voice lesson setting. Robinson’s own passion for music began in Oakland, California, where she came from generations of clergy.
TRINEICE ROBINSON/All or Nothing: Normally you reach this point
a little later in life than 40, but Robinson has reached the point in
time where she can do what she wants. What she want is to hang
with a bunch of first call jazzbos and be a diva kicking it out on
classics and originals with equal style and verve. Another item to
cross off her bucket list. With the right sass and style to be a first
class jazz vocalist, this later in life debut hits all the right notes
throughout.
The album brings together a lifetime experience and
influences from jazz, R&B, gospel and classical music
with an all-star band featuring Don Braden, Cyrus
Chestnut, Kenny Davis and Vince Ector, along with
guest appearances by Phil Orr, Joe “Stretch” Vinson,
Kahlil Kwame Bell, Ian Kaufman, John Meko and Nils
Mossblad, as well as her children, Laura-Simone
Martin and Lindsay Martin Jr.
