Rondo? From the French – a poetic and musical form characterized by roundness worth its poundage in silver. Starting in 2003 as the duo of Robert S. Cambron (lyrics/vocals/guitars) and Adam Huffer (saxophone/keyboards/etc.), Rondo Sterling spent three years as a touring quartet before finally streamlining into the original two. In November 2007, RS released their long-awaited debut LP, Sprezzatura, the most impressive independent album of the year.
Sprezzatura? A Renaissance virtue of artistic discipline – ability sans effort, performance by transparent skill. This incredible 10-song album is a showcase of creativity, virtuosity and taste. Rondo Sterling makes use of multiple instrumentation arranged brilliantly to augment each song. As a vocalist, Robert Cambron utilizes a low baritone to high tenor range and divine tone to subtly express the changing moods in his lyrics. Adam Huffer’s saxophone performance combines the discipline of classical training with the spirit of improvisation to reach a vibrant higher ground. Also expect unforgettable performances in classical percussion, jazz drums and upright bass, among others. With this exciting collection of songs, Rondo Sterling has proven their studio prowess. Now look for them to rock a stage near you.
