He has performed extensively throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada, and Europe. He has received grants from Meet the Composer and has been featured on major music festivals, concert series, and prominent venues. Robinson has performed/recorded with Peter Kowald, Muhal Richard Abrams, George Lewis, Anthony Davis, Eugene Chadbourne, Earl Howard, Emily Hay, Jeff Kaiser, Toots and the Maytals, Eek a Mouse, Bertram Turetzky, Mel Graves, Marco Eneidi, Mike Wofford, Mark Dresser, J.D. Parran, Gerry Hemingway, Groundation, Contemporary Jazz Orchestra (at Pearl's, San Francisco), the San Francisco Mime Troupe, and many others. Robinson is also a published author, teaches at the University of California in San Diego and Irvine, and speaks regularly about improvised music at conferences and festivals. He holds a Ph.D. in Music. Robinson's release Tandem (Accretions Records) was a 2002 “critic's pick” in JazzTimes. Robinson is the founder and artistic director of Circumvention Music and a charter member of the San Diego-based Trummerflora Collective.
