His unique skill set of intelligence, empathy and wit allows him to befriend and earn the respect of everyone whom he meets, from fellow musicians to students, from businessmen to customers and celebrities. The undeniable aptitude Robaire has as a jazz bassist has transferred well in his expanding role in the music world, serving since 2017 as the Manager of Music for Sam First, the newest jazz-only performance establishment in the Southland.
