About Me

Who is Roger Smith???
Producer, Composer, Performer
Welcome to the Myspace page of ROGER SMITH, one of the world’s foremost keyboard players and one of the most prolific artists in contemporary jazz.
For a long time, many acts have benefited from the addition of Roger Smith on piano/keyboards. In the late 1990’s Roger put his sound together and hit Number One on the charts with his single “Off the Hook”
Check out Roger’s latest release: “Sittin’ In” released and available at Roger’s website: rogersmith.net
We all benefit from the fact that Roger Smith has been around the music business for many years. What we hear is original music from an artist with an immense repertoire to call upon. What you don’t hear are gimmicks and production which clutter the landscape. This is borne out in Roger’s soon to be released CD. “Sittin’ In”.
Smith’s virtuosity is complimented by his diverse resume. He’s played with Jeff Beck, Glayds Knight, Willie Nelson, and Leon Russell, among others. At Present, Roger holds down the Hammond B-3 seat vacated by the formidable Chester Thompson with the legendary West Coast soul band Tower of Power, maintaining their signature sound with his expert organ play.
As producer and composer, Smith pursues his artistic vision on behalf of the listener, bringing to the table the most capable players available to accomplish that vision. As in Roger brought in the Temptations to sing “I’ll always Love You” on his album “Just Enough”. In the tradition of Quincy Jones, Roger brings jus the right talent to get the job done, be it having the luxury of using the Tower of Power horns for their brand of brass and reeds, or Smooth Jazz household names like Dave Koz, Gerald Albright, or Peter White for their particular sound.
In any event, Roger’s efforts have resulted in a compelling body of work.
Additionally, Roger has a seperate project know as "Jazz Rosco" for more information on this project see web link below.
