Welcome from the Prestige-Elite team for the third album release by this talented Italian guitarist and his crew, who have matured in their Jazz / Rock Progressive Fusion genre of exciting and original music. I guess the closest possible influence should be directed towards the great fans of Jeff Beck, Frank Zappa and John McLaughlin, but I feel Ruggero is unique in his style and compositions, certainly from the originality viewpoint, heading toward a John Coltrane maybe, on guitar as opposed to tenor saxophone. Just an opinion of course, but I think and hope you will enjoy these recordings of this intense artist. Ruggero Robin, born in 1962, began playing the guitar at a very young age, immediately demonstrating a deep understanding with the instrument. This sensitivity and artistic versatility will lead Robin to collaborate in the following years with great international artists. His guitar is featured on over 90 million records and CDs sold worldwide. The list is very long, but we can remember: Andrea Bocelli, Zucchero Fornaciari, Luciano Pavarotti, Paul Young, B. B. King, Dolores O'Riordan, Giorgia. Riccardo Fogli, Le Orme, Area II. Ruggero has also released 16 CDs in his own name, in the Jazz Fusion area, with important collaborations of musicians from the international contemporary jazz scene such as John Patitucci, Steve Gadd, Alex Acuna, Oskar Cartaya, Marc Jordan, Giulio Capiozzo, Trilok Gurtu, Enzo Todesco, Mino Cinelu, Peter Lipa, Bruce Gaitsch, Janey Clever. Ruggero Robin's CDs have been published in 127 countries around the world. Ruggero Robin's concert activity is present throughout Europe, playing in prestigious festivals. Also worth mentioning is the presence with one of his songs "Holidays in Venice" in the Compilation "Guitar For Freedom" in which internationally renowned guitarists participate, such as Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Andy Summers, Michael Landau, Steve Lukater, Bruce Gaitsch, etc. To raise money for the relatives of the Ground Zero victims.
