BRIEF BIOGRAPHY Jobson began playing the piano at age 7 and violin at age 8. Later he attended Bede Hall Grammar School , leaving at age 16. At that point he joined the band Fat Grapple, playing locally in venues such as Redcar Jazz Club . It was at this venue that they played in support of Curved Air , which Jobson joined the following year. At this time Jobson fronted Fat Grapple on electric violin, opening with a spirited rendition of the current hit piece Jig-a-Jig . The band played original compositions and were well regarded, but failed to break out beyond the Newcastle area. None the less, Jobson's playing won him a place in Curved Air. In 1973 he replaced and after that, became one of the founding members of UK before joining Jethro Tull as a 'special guest' for the album ” A ” and subsequent world tour. In the 1980s, Jobson released two CDs. .[http://mixonline.com/mag/audio_edge_eddie_jobson/] He also produced the Bulgarian Women Choir's 2000 album ''Voices of Life'', contributing three new compositions (from an abortive UK reunion project called ''Legacy'') and playing violin on two of the new pieces. Since 2000, he has run Globe Music Media Arts [http://www.globemusicmediaarts.com], which describes itself as a music/video production company, music publishing company, and online store. The official Eddie Jobson web site [http://www.eddiejobson.com] and forum went online in 2006. SOLO DISCOGRAPHY
