about

ROGER'S MUSIC VOLUME 6

Blues and ballads are two pillars of jazz. The originals in this collection explore both conventional and unconventional approaches to these genres.

NOTES:

Click on a track's Info to see liner notes about the music.

Lead sheets for these pieces are available at Sheet Music Plus.

Each recording represents just one possibility for how the music can be performed. I encourage musicians to think of my written music as a point of departure and find their vision of it.
