The index for the sixth and final interview in our project, with drummer Leonard 'Lenny' Robinson, who was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1956. He moved to Baltimore in the early 1960s with his family for his father’s work as a Pentecostal minister. He started playing trumpet in junior high before moving to drums and percussion at Walbrook High School, a progressive Black high school in Baltimore. He met his percussion mentor, Chuck Memphis, and began attending the Peabody Conservatory before he transferred to Morgan State University. He talks about the impact of his first major tour as a professional musician at age 20 and the impact it had on his perspective as a musician. He talks about moving to New York to join the Army field band in the late 1970s and early 1980s and further developing his craft playing with jazz, Latin, and all sorts of bands across the five boroughs. His family moved to Silver Spring in the mid-1980s and he began playing with and meeting major figures in the D.C. jazz scene at the One Step Down in Foggy Bottom. He played there and around the city for years while also touring with national jazz acts like Stanley Turrentine and Lou Donaldson. He talks about becoming an educator at The Landon School in Bethesda in 1999 and the changes he's seen in D.C.’s neighborhoods as a result of gentrification since then. He also talks about the importance of the Westminster jazz series in that ever-changing landscape of gigs, venues, and taste.
