Trumpeter Herb Robertson passed away ********* (◞‸◟)Way too early.

We worked together for almost a decade. Recording, playing and travelling all over Europe and even Syria..

Playing with Herb always blew my mind. ...we made so much music together. Some of the finest moments were with Evan Parker on "The Trees" and as a duo on the album NOD. He was always just in the right place, kicking in when you needed it, taking improvisation to new levels. ..from the first time i heard him play I knew that the world would be so much better with more Herb in it.

At an important point he was extremely generous and made a huge impact. I learned so much from him. He became my mentor and friend.  

Listen to his playing and his rare beautiful spirit....  I am sure he will continue to inspire and make a wonderful noise where he is going...

Safe travels Herb. I'll miss you.

Here's a track from our duo album NOD (2009)...
