Jazz Rosco is more than one person, one group or one genre of music. It is a collaboration of world-class musicians brought together by the passion of keyboardist & producer Roger Smith. With elements of progressive jazz, Latin, funk, soul, and R&B, Jazz Rosco captures a one-of-a-kind blend of infectious grooves, mesmerizing solos, and a wide range of talents under one musical umbrella. Smith, the masterful keyboardist of Tower of Power, started the collective with two goals - one, to honor a fellow veteran’s friendship through a shared love of music and two, to create one space for fabulous musicians to get their music heard.

Hailing from diverse corners of the musical universe, Jazz Rosco’s rotating group of exceptional  artists have received countless accolades including Billboard chart hits and Grammy wins, and have worked with some of the biggest artists in the game including Ray Charles, Prince, Carlos Santana, and more. Following the release of Rosco’s Place (2004) and Rosco’s Place 2 (2010) Smith is working with all musicians in the Jazz Rosco family to release numerous singles in 2024.
