Anthony Robustelli's Another Fatal Blow may be the artist's most accessible and unadorned work to date, and that's a good thing. Known for his proclivity for rock and soul with distinctly jazz underpinnings, fans may be pleasantly surprised by Robustelli's newest release which plainly showcases his R&B, soul and classic rock 'n roll abilities. On Another Fatal Blow Anthony Robustelli delivers head-bobbin' hooks, superb melodies, masterful musicianship and outstanding vocal performances track after track.

While on songs like "So Far Removed" and   "Anxiety's Confession" Robustelli displays a smart, refreshing and wholly modern take on the classic '70s pop soul genre, hard hitting tunes like "Another Rant," "Your Other Plan" and the lounge-y "Obscene Alibis" prove that Another Fatal Blow is uniquely his own.   With Another Fatal Blow Anthony Robustelli delivers a fluid, high energy and utterly enveloping disc.

On his last record,Grown Tired Of The Con, Anthony Robustelli demonstrates that he is an artist of incomparable talent and vision. Grown Tired Of The Con, harnesses a feel and energy that takes the listener straight to the live performance. Making optimal use of his penchant for cutting lyrics and quiet controversy, Anthony Robustelli has again proven himself an artist with the uncommon ability to deftly weave musical genres ranging from the grittiest rock & roll to the most heady jazz to the most soulful R&B

On Grown Tired Of The Con, Anthony clearly displays the full range of his vast musical and vocal talents. Indeed, he draws on of his signature Rhodes and organ abilities and throws in a good measure of clavinet and mellotron for a rich, dynamic sound. On this record, he also tackles guitar and percussion parts with impressive results. And, his fearless vocal delivery on songs such as the high-spirited “Your Kind” and the dark and lilting “Feel the Fall” demonstrate a welcome range and complexity as pop music again trends toward artistry and away from slick studio-concocted singers. If Grown Tired Of The Con is a sign of things to come, this artist is one to watch.

With Comfort is so Rare Anthony Robustelli creates an intelligent amalgamation of hearty musical genres which include soul, R&B, rock, funk and hip hop -- all deftly perched atop a strong foundation of jazz. While musical influences such as Steely Dan and Earth, Wind and Fire are subtly apparent throughout, the instrumentation, arrangement and complexity of this record go far beyond a punchy horn section and funky bass line.

With this effort Anthony Robustelli succeeds where contemporaries such as Jamiroquai and D'Angelo fall short. Comfort is so Rare is an extraordinary blend of head-bobbing, soulful tunes and thought provoking, oftentimes biting, lyrics that paint shades of Elvis Costello. From the smooth, melodic flow of "After This Night" to the driving bass and swift movement of "Queen of the Screen" to the deep house groove of "Step Inside" Comfort  is so Rare is exceptional indeed.
With crisp, horn-infused rhythms, seamless melodic shifts and thoughtful, irreverent lyrics Devibe is a breath of much-needed fresh air in the all too stagnant world of modern R&B. Driving, funk derived tunes like "Positive Breakdown" and "Over You" hearken back to the artistry of such powerhouse bands as Rufus and Steely Dan all the while retaining a freshness that clearly places Devibe above the fray of adolescent funk retreads that have historically beset the live music scene from which this band emerged.

From the haunting lilt of "Blissful Me" to the straightforward dolor of "Tortured Kind," Devibe, under the artful stewardship of Anthony Robustelli and longtime collaborater Peter Williamson, consistently delivers with punch and precision.
Travels of a Lost Soul - A Suite in Six Parts masterfully written and arranged by Anthony Robustelli reveals a strength and artistry witnessed far too sparingly in today's traditional jazz offerings. Travels takes the listener on a journey through the evolution of young love and allows him to explore each moment from the "Initial Attraction" to "The Realization of Divine Perfection" through this fluid composition that evokes ardent emotion with neither pretense nor overt musical overtures.

With Travels of a Lost Soul, Anthony Robustelli has created a work that deftly captures the essence of the jazz masters. And, with help of six talented and accomplished musicians, he serves up a spirited collection of seamlessly interwoven songs that once experienced, are not easily forgotten.
