Roger Smith


Musician focus

Jimmy McGriff quote
Music is like a wheel, When you drive a car down a street, you might go down the same street, but you'll run over something today that wasn't there yesterday, so that puts a new look on that tire, and that's the way music is. When it goes over, it picks up something that wasn't there before.

Jimmy Bruno - Like That

Rusell Malone quote
I’ve always felt that jazz is the way in which something is done. The material can come from anywhere — what makes it jazz is the way you approach it.

Jazz & Sail, Bergen, The Netherlands

By the time of this writing there are about 700 organ jazz albums in my collection. But
some jazz organists can only be enjoyed in a live concert. Why? One of; they didn't record or I didn't buy a record or they failed to send me their records. Among these jazz organists is Jurriaan Leijen. I keep waiting for a recording session. In the meantime I am lucky enough to live in the same area as he does so once in a while I can attend a gig and coming week is the next occassion.

Friday evening September 2, 2011 (8 pm) and Saturday afternoon September 3, 2011 (4 pm) in restaurant Gorter, Bergen, The Netherlands: Juicy Organism, The Trio.
