A masterful blend of rhythm and blues, jazz, and rock, Robi Zonca has kicked out his fifth CD since 2003. From the slow vocal duet with Sabrina Kabua on Save My Soul to the the Chicago Blues feel with Luther Kent on Ray Charles’ Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Crying, to the final song, I Know, an acoustic piece with hand percussion on a cajon and a slight flamenco flavor, this album deftly reveals Robi’s skill as a song writer and guitar player.

Take the musicians: You might not know any of them, but these cats can play, and with guests like Luther Kent and Sabrina Kabua, it’s apparent that they fit right into this versatile and quality Italian band rather well. The bands foundation of Paolo Legremandi on bass and Teo Marchese handling most of the drum chops, Antonello Aguzzi on keyboards, a great horn section featuring Italy’s premier trumpet player Fabrizio Bosso, all recorded by Paolo Filippi and mastered by John Davis. Good players, good song writing, good production. Check Robi Zonca out, he’s worth it.
