Roger Smith’s ‘Jazz Rosco’ to play Free Concert

Tower of Power Keyboardist Brings his Band to Folsom

Folsom’s Jazzy Sundays concert series continues this weekend with Roger Smith’s Jazz Rosco. 

Roger, a Texas native, has called Sacramento home for decades, has played keyboards for Tower of Power, for over 20 years, recording, touring and playing to sold-out audiences all over the world.   

Jazz Rosco is the band he leads when not on tour with TOP.

In a world of targeted music and sanitized sound, Smith continues to crash through categories with his unique musical talent. He recently charted the #1 contemporary jazz hit, Off-The Hook. His latest effort, Just Another Day, provides us with a welcome embrace of diverse music styles. From R&B ballads (Just Another Day), to up-tempo funk infusions (Party Up, Second Wind), to Motown inspired (There is No Love, South Side of Heavy), Roger again demonstrates his love of the groove with this collection of inspired creations.
