Roger, I've got the 1945 recording of Leave Us Leap by Gene's band. Your band sounds amazingly like his!! And your drum solo is perfect-o....Gene would smile if heard this one :)
Roger, I first heard you playing behind Gunhild on "Lover". (Check out my comment). And I liked your tasteful drumming on that number, but your Big Band videos are great. I feel sorry for young drummers today. You and I grew up when the masters like Gene and Buddy were still around!! Gunhild is the most amazing performer I think I've ever seen. I'm so glad I stumbled upon her videos. Her whole family is so talented!!
Roger is a drumming genius!.....would love to have heard him live. Awesome.
Nice band and nice drumming. Like the crash cymbals. Good sound. Refreshing.

Thank you, Michael. It's fun to play the "old" charts with the bands of today. I hope you're right regarding Gene... :-)

Nice playing and good band, Roger. Glad to finally have gotten to see you play.
