J. - ROB is the name adopted by a collection of extremely talented musicians and singers led by veteran vocalist Jesse Robinson. JESSE ROBINSON has performed, professionally, since the age of 14. He made his national debut in the mid-1980's with the R&B quartet "Transit Authority" and their Top 40 "You Make My Life So Right", penned by Bob Seger's, "Old Time Rock and Roll" writer, Tom Jones. Jesse and "Transit Authority" were the hit of the "Jack the Rapper" convention in Atlanta, Georgia of that year and garnered an invitation to the nationally syndicated T.V. show, "Soul Train".
In 1990, Jesse began his career in the corporate entertainment sector and his affiliation with Lenny Klinger's "GALAXY". During Jesse's tenure as a bandleader within GALAXY, the organization expanded its St. Louis, MO. base into the Atlanta, Georgia market. A new millennium opens with Jesse Robinson as the leader of his own act highlighting versatility. The "J. - ROB" song list goes from jazz and blues standards, such as, "The Girl from Iponema" and "Our Love Is Here to Stay" to the Frank Sinatra songbook featuring, "Just the Way You Look Tonight" and "My Way". "J. - ROB" has a large Big Band and Swing repertoire. A crowd favorite is Jesse's rendition of the 1961 Etta James hit, "At Last".
"J. - ROB" moves down the musical time line to the "Motown" era of The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Supremes, Smokey Robinson and, Marvin Gaye. The "Disco" era is alive with, "I Will Survive" and "Disco Inferno", to name a couple of favorites. Pop, Funk, and R&B round out a song list of over 100 selections. Included are the contemporary ballads of Luther Vandross.
