Besides his role at the Jazz Workshop, Roger is also known as a member of the Beegie Adair Trio and the Lori Mechem Trio. For this interview and performance at the Steinway Gallery, he will be joined by pianist Lori Mechem and drummer Duffy Jackson. Host and interviewer will be Beegie Adair. The afternoon will be a treat for all involved, and is not to be missed!
The performance takes place at 1:30pm at the Steinway Piano Gallery of Nashville, 4285 Sidco Dr. Admission is $15, $10 for TJBS members and students. Advance tickets are available from Brown Paper Tickets.
Sessions at Steinway is modeled after the award-winning series Inside the Actors’s Studio, and was conceived by saxophonist and TJBS Vice-President, Rahsaan Barber. It offers audiences the rare chance to hear unique and personal accounts of life both on and away from the stage. The “sessions” will include short performances and a Q&A segment for audience interaction.
