Recording career

Rustici was a founder member of the progressive rock group Cervello, that was based in Naples. This group recorded the album Melos in 1973, with Rustici on guitar and vocals. In 1975, he joined with members of Osanna, including his brother Danilo, to form the group Nova. In 1976, they recorded the album Blink. For the next two albums Vimana (1976) and Wings of Love (1977), they relocated to London and worked with prominent members of the progressive rock and jazz fusion scenes, including Narada Michael Walden and Phil Collins. The final album, Sun City (1978) was recorded in New York. After the disbandment of Nova, Rustici began a successful career as a producer and musician with many famous artists both in the United States and Italy. These have included Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Zucchero and Elisa.

In 1995, Rustici released his first solo album, The Heartist. On his 2006 album Deconstruction of a Postmodern Musician, the guest artists included Elisa and the guitarist Allan Holdsworth.[1] The Corrado Rustici Trio is a group that features the former Jethro Tull keyboardist Peter-John Vettese and jazz fusion drummer Steve Smith. In 2014, this group recorded a live album Blaze and Bloom - Live in Japan.[2] In 2017, Rustici performed at a reunion concert in Tokyo with original members of Cervello. This was released as a live CD and DVD titled Cervello - Live in Tokyo 2017.[3]
