Biography
Rob Blakeslee began his playing career in 1970 on the West Coast. He has since lived and played extensively throughout the U.S. as well as several tours through Europe. In 1983 Rob settled in Dallas, Texas and was involved with Daagnim collective, additionally teaching trumpet and jazz improvisation in the Dallas Independent School District.

In 1987 he moved to Portland, Oregon and became Director of Jazz Ensembles at Oregon State University.

"Blakeslee's [album] LIFELINE demonstrates emormous interest in open musical spaces and the manipulation of silence in improvisational expanses. He proves himself not only an improviser of immense talent but also a composer with an abiding interest in both the intricacies of improvisational dialogue and the peaks to which those intricacies rise."
