Eddie Jobson

As recently as 2006, the Editor-in-Chief of Emmy magazine wrote: "The word 'genius' is bandied about a bit too freely these days, but in Jobson's case, the term not only applies, it's been used to describe him since his northern England childhood, when he was such a violin and piano prodigy that he wrote his first string quartet at 13 [and] performed with his first professional symphony at 14..." His performances and compositions have received press accolades, having been described as "brilliant" [All Music Guide], "intriguingly original" [Los Angeles Times], even, "magnificent" [London Times], and "dazzling" [The Boston Globe].

Jobson started guitar and classical piano at age 7, and violin at age 8

FAT: #awesome

By JOHN KELMAN

While the appropriately titled #awesome represents Alex Machacek's third album in six years with his (similarly witty and self-effacingly monikered) FAT (Fabulous Austrian Trio), this trifecta of virtuosic Austrian musicians goes much further back. Both bassist Raphael Preuschl and drummer Herbert Pirker appeared on roughly half of the expat-Austrian/Los Angeles-based guitarist's acclaimed 2006 Abstract Logix debut, ...
