Sounds Like: "Roger has put together the type of recording that myself, and most listeners should enjoy very much. Plenty of drums, for sure, but also a lot of beautiful, thoughtful music. He plays with a freshness and drive, regardless of style, and always has the composition in the forefront. His tunes are great, and demonstrate a pure love of music as a whole."
