Diane Roblin’s dynamic career in music has placed her among Canada’s venerable women in jazz. Composer, pianist, electric keyboardist, improviser, and band leader, Diane effortlessly harnesses technical agility to center music’s power of connection. She is based in Toronto where she leads her Life Force sextet, a “virtuosic ensemble of Canadian hotshots” (JazzFM 91.1) that features Bruce Cassidy, George Koller, Kevin Turcotte, Tim Shia and Jeff LaRochelle. The group plays Diane’s diverse compositions that blend her broad influences ranging from high-energy jazz-funk to impressionism. Diane released the project’s sophomore album, LIFE FORCE, in 2019. Described as a “genuine, wild ride you wish wouldn’t end” (midwestrecords.com) and “something unique to offer jazz fans,” (JazzFM 91.1), LIFE FORCE was on allaboutjazz.com's top 10 album list in 2019.
