IM BACK IN THERAPY AND ITS ALL YOUR FAULT is Robertas first serious foray into the world of electricity (in music, that is). Exploring a new sonic palette with a vintage Wurlitzer electric piano and tastefully chosen effects pedals, Roberta brings her harmonically adventurous sensibility and serpentine lines to a supremely grooving and interactive quartet. The band features Bruce Arnold, an electric and acoustic guitarist whose sophisticated chromatic harmonies and spacey sound effects mesh perfectly with Robertas forward-thinking style.
Roberta has six CDs as a bandleader, is a protege of pianist Richie Beirach, daughter of Viennese conductor and composer Frederick Piket, and has done session work or played live with jazz greats including Lionel Hampton, Rufus Reid, Michael Formanek, Virginia Mayhew, Dave Liebman and Marian McPartland, who says that Robertas an extremely talented player. I predict she will go far in the music world as a jazz pianist and composer." She studied at the New England Conservatory of Music. IM BACK IN THERAPY has been appealing to fans of jazz, rock, fusion, art music, and space rock.
