Born Edwin Jobson 05/28/1955 in Billingham, Cleveland, England.

Eddie caught Frank's attention when his band Roxy Music opened for Zappa at the Mecca Auditorium, Milwaukee in November 1975. FZ asked Jobson to accompany the MOI the following month for a week in Canada. Eddie guested on violin in Hamilton, and Montreal - all the while playing with FZ in dressing rooms and hotels as Frank assessed his talents - and became a member of the band in 1976.

In 1980 he supported Jethro Tull and then became member for their "A"-Album. He left the goup in 1980 for a solo career.
