Eddie Jobson joined Curved Air in 1973 at the age of 17, attempting to fill the violin vacancy left by Darryl Way plus filling Francis Monkman's shoes on keyboards -- a truly daunting task. He had been in a band called Fat Grapple, playing at some of the same venues as Curved Air. He appeared on "Air Cut" and "Lovechild," contributing the extraordinary piece "Metamorphosis" to "Air Cut," "Joan" and "Paris by Night" to "Lovechild," and he co-wrote "Armin."

Eddie had met Bryan Ferry early in 1973, sessioning on Ferry's first solo album, "These Foolish Things." When Brian Eno left Roxy Music, Ferry remembered Eddie's work and asked him to leave Curved Air and join Roxy. Eddie played on "Country Life," "Siren," and "Viva" before departing. He became an in-demand session player, both touring and guesting on albums by Amazing Blondel, Dana Gillespie, Bryan Ferry (again), Andy McKay, Phil Manzanera, King Crimson, Roger Glover, John Entwistle, and Frank Zappa. He also release a solo single in 1976, "Yesterday Boulevard/ On a Still Night."

Eddie had met John Wetton playing with Roxy Music, and Bill Bruford when overdubbing violin parts on King Crimson's "USA" album in 1975. According to Crimso legend, Robert Fripp decided that the three should play together, recruited Alan Holdsworth on guitar in 1977, and called the group UK. The band recorded three albums, "UK," "Danger Money," and the live "Night After Night" before self-destructing. Eddie continued with sessions and joined Jethro Tull briefly before forming his own band, Zinc. The band recorded one album, "The Green Album" before disbanding. Eddie began working with New Age music after Zinc, and recorded his second solo LP, "Theme of Secrets" on the Private Music label. Three piano pieces left off this album surfaced on a Private Music sampler LP. Another piece, "Sketch for Orchestra # 4" was issued on a Korg sampler CD, "The Best of the 01/W." Recently, Eddie has been writing music for television, including an ongoing gig as the musical director of the American TV series Nash Bridges.
