Robben Ford: Jazz Musician in New York

About Robben Ford

Robben Ford is an American guitarist whose work moves between blues, jazz, and rock, shaped by bandstand experience as much as studio craft. Over decades he has played in groups including the L.A. Express and Yellowjackets and worked alongside artists such as Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell, and George Harrison. In New York City he has appeared at the Iridium, including during Les Paul Birthday Week with Oz Noy’s Organ Trio featuring Brian Charette and Shawn Pelton. His playing favors clean articulation and harmonic nuance over flash.
