[citation needed] While still in Curved Air, Jobson became acquainted with Roxy Music frontman Bryan Ferry as their sisters shared a room in college.

Throughout the 1970s, Jobson continued to perform on keyboards and violin for a variety of recording artists, including King Crimson, Phil Manzanera, Andy Mackay, John Entwistle, Bill Bruford, and others.

Jobson was eventually brought onstage with only minutes' notice to perform what was essentially an audition before thousands of Zappa fans.

Other albums featuring recordings with Jobson are Studio Tan, Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar, You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore, Vol.

Initially, the band included former King Crimson members Bill Bruford (drums) and John Wetton (bass and lead vocals), along with guitarist Allan Holdsworth.

Jobson was asked to participate on Jethro Tull frontman Ian Anderson's solo endeavour, which was eventually released by Chrysalis Records in 1980 as a full-fledged Tull album, A. Jobson, credited as a 'special guest', performed on keyboards, electric violin, and was cited on liner notes as providing additional musical material.

Two years later, Jobson made a significant genre shift from progressive rock music to the stylings of new age with Theme of Secrets.

[17] Jobson also composed music for the world of advertising, most notably the Amtrak "California Zephyr" commercial that featured Richie Havens singing "There's Something About a Train That's Magic".

In addition to production duties, he also contributed three new compositions (originally slated for the perpetually in-progress UK reunion project called Legacy), and playing violin on two of the new pieces.

[20] In October 2007, Jobson announced the formation of a new band, UKZ, with Trey Gunn, Marco Minnemann, Alex Machacek, and Aaron Lippert.

In November 2009[23] Jobson reunited with former Roxy Music and U.K. bandmate, John Wetton, for what was termed "The 30th Anniversary of U.K.", with three performances in Poland (Kraków, Warsaw and Bydgoszcz).

Participating musicians have included John Wetton, Alex Machacek, Marc Bonilla, and drummers Marco Minnemann, Mike Mangini, Virgil Donati, Gary Husband, and Simon Phillips.

In January 2010 Jobson was named to the technical advisory board of Austin, Texas based keyboard manufacturer, Infinite Response.

He was involved in the development of the company's VAX77 folding MIDI keyboard controller,[25] which Jobson showcased at the January 2010 NAMM Show in Anaheim, California.

In January 2011, Jobson gave a series of "master classes" in Japan, featuring performances of compositions throughout his career and lecture-style discussions of his music.

In April of that year, a Jobson-Wetton "U.K." reunion tour provided performances in Japan and the US, with Alex Machacek (guitar) and Marco Minnemann (drums) completing the four-piece line-up.

[26] Additionally, the trio of Jobson, Wetton, and Bozzio extended its performances with a March 2013 stint on the inaugural voyage of the progressive rock Cruise to the Edge excursion, where they headlined with Yes and Steve Hackett.

Joining him onstage was an ensemble cast of musicians from his career, including John Wetton, Sonja Kristina, Alex Machacek, Marco Minnemann, Aaron Lippert, and Ric Fierabracci.

On the 29 of April 2019, in what he referred to as "his final performance", Jobson reunited with Roxy Music at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York for the 2019 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
