In the late 60s Landes was the keyboardist with the nationally known rock group fever tree.
The Rob Landes Trio has performed at Jones Hall, The Wortham Theatre, The Tower Theatre, The Houston Jazz Festival, Galveston’s Grand 1894 Opera House as well as many supper clubs and hotels in Houston and around the country. The Rob Landes Trio appeared weekly for three years on Channel 13’s Good Morning Houston.
Rob himself traveled for several years with Marilyn Maye as her pianist/conductor. He conducted the Count Basie Orchestra and the Buddy Rich Band in concert with Maye in one of Rich’s last concerts. He is the pianist on four of Maye’s albums.
