Guitarist, composer, recording artist and educator, Jim Robitaille, has garnered recognition internationally for his recordings, performances and award winning compositions. The Jim Robitaille Group's debut recording entitled " To Music", featuring saxophone great Dave Liebman, received international critical acclaim. The CD garnered three international composition awards with three of Jim's compositions from the recording including the 9th Annual Thelonious Monk International Jazz Composers Competition sponsored by BMI where he received his award from jazz piano great Herbie Hancock and performed with the Monk Institute band at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC. The CD was number five in the top ten list of 2004 by the Daily Ipirotikos Agon and the Apopsy in Greece and was the publishers pick for All About Jazz and the Boston Herald.

Hey Jim. Hope all is well over there. At a back yard party I jammed with my friends Bill Wiseman on guitar and Tony Newton on bass. We played "Fred", which Tony had played on the original with Alan Holdsworth, Alan Pascua and Tony Williams in the Lifetime. Tony grooves his ass off on this this.
