Diane Roblin’s Life Force band has been described as a "virtuosic ensemble of Canadian hotshots” who play Diane’s diverse and spirited compositions that blend her broad influences ranging from high-energy jazz-funk to impressionism…something unique to offer jazz fans" (JAZZ.FM91).

Diane Roblin’s dynamic career has earned her a place among Canada’s most respected women in jazz. Known for her powerful compositions and expressive keyboard style, Diane’s performances blend technical agility with a deep commitment to the connective power of music. As a composer, pianist, electric keyboardist, improviser, and bandleader, Diane’s spirited, genre-crossing work has led to collaborations with artists ranging from avant-garde improviser Charles Gayle to the iconic rock band Rough Trade. Her new album, Breath of Fresh Air showcases Roblin’s expansive musical voice, weaving jazz, funk, and impressionist harmony into compositions that are both adventurous and deeply moving. WholeNote says…“Roblin reminds us of her skill, not only as a pianist but as a new music composer.” Diane”s performances have reached audiences at major venues both domestically and abroad including Amsterdam’s Bimhuis and Smalls NYC.
