Robeone's “If You Don’t Know What It Is, It Must Be Jazz" Out October 1, 2026

100% of Sales Supports The Bob Moog Foundation

Keyboardist and composer Robeone will release his new instrumental album, “If You Don’t Know What It Is, It Must Be Jazz,” on October 1, 2026 through Transglobal Records. The seven‑track album blends progressive rock, jazz fusion, electronic textures, and playful experimentation. 100% of the album’s proceeds will support The Bob Moog Foundation, continuing Robeone’s long relationship with the organization.

About the Album

Robeone performs all instruments --all are keyboards-- to create the depth and variety of a full ensemble. The music moves through elements of funk, progressive rock, jazz fusion, and cinematic electronic storytelling.

Track titles such as “Crimble Crumble,” “Hello Bambinos,” “Fox in the Freezer,” and “Sit Wilson Sit” reference the British sitcom Friday Night Dinner, adding humor and personality to the project.

The opening track, “A Lovely Bit of Squirrel,” introduces the album’s approach: guitar‑like tones, flute‑like colors, bass textures, and suspenseful percussion emerging entirely from Robeone’s keyboard arrangements.

The music video, “Hello Bambinos” will be live on Oct. 1, as well, and you'll be able to view it at www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZo-2bKgqz8 Created by Blake Carpenter, the music video intersperses Robeone's performing at his keyboards at home with puppies and kittens. When he's not making music or playing live, Robeone fosters rescued dogs.

New Music Video From Robeone

Plus New Merch Company &

Playing the National Anthem for Bob Moog’s 90th Birthday Thursday!

Robeone’s new music video, “Broken Days” contrasts chess and keyboard. How Robeone attacks his movement as he plays keytar shows common motions with an “ebony and ivory” man and woman flowing from a standard chess board into one the size of a large living room! In the end the couple unites with calm confidence. The video was created by Robeone’s longtime video producer Blake Carpenter and is live on YouTube.


Robeone says, “’Broken Days’ is about all the turmoil in the world every day. The two people fighting in the chess game at the end become friends, a hopeful thought.”

The “Broken Days” digital single on Transglobal Records/ The Orchard-Sony is available on streaming media. Fans can buy downloads of the composition on Bandcamp.  robeone.bandcamp.com/track/broken-days-2

Ultimately this track will be on Robeone’s next album, which is still being created.  Proceeds from the single’s sales-- and all of Robeone’s releases—go directly to the Bob Moog Foundation which teaches children Music and Science.

Robeone is engaged in a number of projects including work on another Red32 album. He set up a new relationship with the New Jersey-based, Bandwagon USA merchandise site.  Visit thebandwagonusa.com/collections/robeone 

Robeone has released six albums— “Robeone,” “Circles,” “My World,” “Piano Stories,” “Keep the Music Flowing,” “Halos and Dogs,” and “Dream Suite.”

Robeone’s alter ego Robert Schindler was keyboardist in bands including States, Mayson, Blue Angel, Ruth Copeland, Ronnie Spector, Rhett Tyler.  He’s played on albums by Johnny Nash, Star Cruiser, Rian Adkinson, Joe Mac's American Garage (on Melodic Revolution Records)...  He composed and recorded the Award-Winning Documentary Soundtrack "The Fiery Narrows - Following The Path Of John Charles Fremont."  

On Friday, May 24, Robeone performed the National Anthem on a Moog Liberation Keytar at a soccer game in Asheville to celebrate Bob Moog’s 90th birthday and the fifth year anniversary of the Moogseum!
