Diane Roblin’s Life Force band has been described as a "virtuosic  ensemble of Canadian hotshots” who play Diane’s diverse and spirited  compositions that blend her broad influences ranging from high-energy  jazz-funk to impressionism…something unique to offer jazz  fans" (JAZZ.FM91).  

Diane Roblin’s dynamic career has earned her a place among Canada’s  most respected women in jazz. Known for her powerful compositions and  expressive keyboard style, Diane’s performances blend technical agility  with a deep commitment to the connective power of music. As a composer,  pianist, electric keyboardist, improviser, and bandleader, Diane’s spirited,  genre-crossing work has led to collaborations with artists ranging from  avant-garde improviser Charles Gayle to the iconic rock band Rough  Trade. Her new album, Breath of Fresh Air showcases Roblin’s expansive  musical voice, weaving jazz, funk, and impressionist harmony into  compositions that are both adventurous and deeply moving. WholeNote  says…“Roblin reminds us of her skill, not only as a pianist but as a new  music composer.” Diane”s performances have reached audiences at major  venues both domestically and abroad including Amsterdam’s Bimhuis and  Smalls NYC. Diane is also an active member of the Association of  Canadian Women Composers. www.dianeroblin.com 

Re Breath of Fresh Air…“Their masterful collaboration has created an  extraordinary, multifaceted musical journey that sparks the imagination  and uplifts the spirit. Highly recommended!”….midwestbooks.com
