We commemorate the anniversary of the passing of Robert Black on \nRelevant Tones. Robert Black was an absolute force in the Double Bass \nrepertoire and new music. Through interviews with his previous students \nand cohorts, Christie Echols, Sean Rubin, Caroline Doane, and Evan \nRunyon, \xa0we find out he was so much more than a bass player. Robert was \nfirst and foremost a creative, and surrounded himself with other \ncreative individuals. Robert was enthusiastic about artistic projects \nand would use every resource and effort to make sure projects were done \nto the best of his ability. Robert thought of himself as a grain in the \nsand amongst so many other grains, never allowing his ego or status to \ndictate what or who he worked with. His students enlightened host Austin\n Williams of all of these aspects about Robert through stories. Please \nenjoy these stories shared about Robert Black and his legacy.
