Born: April 28, 1955, in Billingham, Durham, England Violinist, keyboardist, vocalist CURVED AIR, ROXY MUSIC, UK, JETHRO TULL, YES, FRANK ZAPPA JOBSON has played with the best.

"I've done many, many things through my career. When I was younger, I used to play many types of music. In many ways, people tend to associate you with one thing or maybe two things. I've always had the capability of almost going anywhere.

JOBSON with JOHN WETTON in Japan in 1979.

"What happened after Curved Air, Roxy Music, Zappa, and U.K. and Jethro Tull...I sort of became a progressive rock player, and even though my classical background assisted me tremendously for playing with Zappa and writing for U.K. or whatever, it was still very much in the same area."

"I am very particular about quality, about what and how something is done."

"I think Frank [Zappa] was a unique musician, unique guitarist, unique composer, unique humorist. Everything about him was unique!"
