Tonight, Troy Roberts and his quartet comprised of some of the most in-demand
musicians on the scene, will celebrate the music of the tenor saxophone titan,
Stanley Turrentine. Join us for an exclusive musical ‘tip of the hat’ to one of
Roberts’ greatest saxophone influences, as this world-class quartet delves into the
soulful side of Jazz.
Embracing his love for a vast variety of stylistic genres, three-time GRAMMY
nominated saxophonist, Troy Roberts is quickly becoming one of the most widely
recorded touring artists of his time. As a go-to first call saxophonist, his name
adorns several essential recordings ranging from the legendary Joey DeFrancesco,
the iconic Van Morrison, the quintessential Jeff "Tain" Watts, the tireless Orrin
Evans’ Captain Black Big Band, the critically acclaimed Kurt Elling, including
numerous other jazz veterans, and newcomers considered tastemakers of their
generation.
A prolific leader with sixteen releases to his name, the latest being Green Lights
(featuring John Patitucci, Paul Bollenback and Jimmy Macbride), the New York
City based Australian immigrant maintains a busy recording and performance
schedule with his quartet, his original project Nu-Jive, as well as some of the
greatest artists of today.
