In this episode of Inside the Music, StereoRuss sits down with Toronto-based guitarist Robb Cappelletto to unpack the making of Float, the new album from his instrumental jazz-fusion group Re.verse.
Robb shares the band’s journey from weekly bar residencies to headlining the Toronto Jazz Festival, and how years of live performance and experimentation shaped the tight, genre-blending sound on Float. He breaks down the balance between composition and improvisation, the subtle science of groove, and how a spontaneous jam turned into the band’s standout single “Trails.”
The episode dives deep into the nuances of modern instrumental music, the legacy of J Dilla’s drumming, and how a single Instagram clip sparked debate across the internet. Robb also opens up about finding the perfect studio match in engineer Alex Gamble, tracking without a click, and building music that hits with both precision and feel.
Whether you're a producer, a guitarist, or just a music fan, this episode is a masterclass in musicianship, authenticity, and the grind behind great instrumental records.
