We commemorate the anniversary of the passing of Robert Black on
Relevant Tones. Robert Black was an absolute force in the Double Bass
repertoire and new music. Through interviews with his previous students
and cohorts, Christie Echols, Sean Rubin, Caroline Doane, and Evan
Runyon,  we find out he was so much more than a bass player. Robert was
first and foremost a creative, and surrounded himself with other
creative individuals. Robert was enthusiastic about artistic projects
and would use every resource and effort to make sure projects were done
to the best of his ability. Robert thought of himself as a grain in the
sand amongst so many other grains, never allowing his ego or status to
dictate what or who he worked with. His students enlightened host Austin
Williams of all of these aspects about Robert through stories. Please
enjoy these stories shared about Robert Black and his legacy.
