  • Robert Zurke war ein US-amerikanischer Jazz-Pianist, Komponist und Bandleader. Er schrieb u. a. Boogie-Woogie-Arrangements und besetzte bei Bob Crosby nach Joe Sullivan 1936 bis 1939 die Rolle des Pianisten (sein "erster Brotjob"). 1939 wurde er von den Down Beat-Lesern zum besten Pianisten des Jahres gewählt. Mit den eigenen Gruppen hatte er allerdings Pech. Notgedrungen trat er ab 1941 nur noch als Solist auf. Er starb schon mit 32 Jahren.
