What About Bob?
Bob began studying music theory at the piano at the age of six, and later studied jazz piano with Marshall Griffith at the Cleveland Institute of Music and with Ray Santisi at Berklee College of Music. Bob is a versatile piano player, working for the past ten years in Northern California with diverse groups such as The Perry Mills Project (fusion), Lorraine Gervais (jazz and R&B), Shay Dillon (blues), and Ivan Najera (latin), and Steelin’ Dan (Steely Dan tribute). He has performed with Objects in the Mirror, bassist Michael Manring and Scottish fiddler Alasdair Fraser. He presently lives in Austin, Texas.
If he was trapped on a deserted island with only five albums, he hopes that they would be: Chick Corea – Chick Corea Elektric Band, Bruford – The Bruford Tapes, Steely Dan – Aja, Rush – Moving Pictures, and the soundtrack to The Muppet Movie. Bob was named after his father, who in turn was named after his father, who was named Bob.
