In the late 1970s he was one of several composer-pianists who developed what became known as New Age music, although Tobin's style identifies more closely with complex modal/post-bop jazz.

My Jazz Story

Jazz is on a par with Bach and the best virtuoso progressive rock, all of which I love and have performed. I love complexity, emotion, variety and anticipation. I've worked with Grammy winners Paul Nelson (also in the Blues Hall of Fame), Dave Brubeck, Ron Carter, Michael Hedges, Donny McCaslin (last collaborator with David Bowie), Jon Anderson (from Yes), Brian Welch ("Head" from Korn), as well as Grammy nominees Dane Richeson (Blue Note Records), Ken Schaphorst, Entcho Todorov, Janet Planet and more. His albums have included contributions from drummers Scott Rockenfield (Queensrÿche), Lamar Moore (Lettuce), Mike Nappi (J Geils Band) and countless other musicians from around the globe. Early in his career, I had the honor of playing with Maynard Ferguson.
