Meet Robby Marshall, saxophonist, composer and at least for me, home town hero. After attending music school at USC, Robby rose to prominence in the LA jazz scene, sidemaning and touring with names you’ll recognize like Michael Bublé and Trombone Shorty, while building his solo career. 12 years, 3 albums and a wide range of styles later (think psychedelic, electric, big band and world folk), Robby did as artists have always done and moved to Paris, where he leads an eponymous quartet and lives my dream life. His latest release, Little Victories, is out now and if it’s not on your radar, it should be.
