In 2004, Mr. Robinson received critical acclaim for his work as conductor and musical arranger for Langston Hughes’ Black Nativity A Gospel Celebration.

Mr. Robinson has lectured extensively on the history of American music, including Jazz and Ragtime, the music of George Gershwin, and American music, celebrating American Broadway and film composers. He has been notably called one of “America’s foremost proponents of Ragtime and early Jazz.”

Mr. Robinson created the musical tale “The Amazing Bone” with children author William Steig’s (creator of Shrek) book; the ballet fantasy "Peter and Wendy" from the play by J.M.
