   He played keyboards and electric violin on 14 of the 23 tracks making up   
   "Leather" - and they were all pretty good musicians on that - the R&E,   
   RbyP and 'Helsinki Concert lineup is about the best band FZ ever had, in   
   my opinion anyway. But I don't think Jobson toured with them: The Leather   
   booklet seems to show that it was all studio recordings.   
      
   Also, since quite a lot of Leather was released as parts of at least 4   
   other albums he gets credits on ZINY and ST and maybe a few others.   
      
   Looks like he got the electric violin desk after Sugarcane Harris and   
   Jean-Luc Ponty, but that seems to  have only been for a year or so.
