Edwin “Eddie” Jobson is a world-recognized music icon. Though best-known as one of the top keyboard players in the progressive-rock genre, having co-founded legendary fusion supergroup U.K. and having played with Curved Air, King Crimson, Yes and Jethro Tull, Jobson has actually spent the majority of his career as a cross-genre composer and producer. A child prodigy violinist and young classical composer and pianist, he first came to international attention replacing Brian Eno as synthesist in the influential art-rock band Roxy Music at the age of 18; going on to becoming Frank Zappa’s keyboardist and electric violinist at the age of 21, replacing both George Duke and Jean-Luc Ponty. Leaving the rock world and international arena touring at the age of 25, Jobson became a multi-award-winning composer for television and film, scoring over 100 TV dramas and working on several movies before focusing on a diverse range of recording projects for his own international label Globe Music.

In 2008, after a twenty-seven-year absence from the concert stage, Jobson returned to recording and performing, primarily as bandleader, producer and principal composer of the reformed U.K., as well as continuing to give lectures on the physics and psychology of music. In 2019, Jobson was inducted into the Rock& Roll Hall of Fame with Roxy Music—the only violinist ever inducted.
