Robert Irving III, a multifaceted artist, carries on a distinguished tradition of post-bop pianists and composers who collaborated with the legendary Miles Davis. At the age of 26, Irving's composition "Space" marked the 1981 comeback of Davis and their prolific nine-year collaboration.
Irving produced two award-winning Columbia Records albums for Davis, "Decoy" and "You're Under Arrest," while expanding his arranging and orchestration credentials by studying with Gil Evans, who decades earlier had famously arranged some of Miles Davis' most celebrated recordings.
Irving has created several film scores, including Alfred Hitchcock Presents The Prisoner's starring Yaphet Kotto and Cristina Raines, Street Smart, and Scenes For the Soul, the debut film of Director George Tillman.
