To celebrate the relaunch of its free outdoor “Jazz at MOCA” concert series in-person on the last Friday of every month, MOCA is pleased to present saxophonist and composer Troy Roberts on Friday, Jan. 28 at 8 p.m. Roberts has traveled around the globe performing and recording with some of the greatest jazz artists of all time including James Morrison, Aretha Franklin, Christian McBride, Sammy Figueroa, Dave Douglas, Orrin Evans and Kurt Elling. Known as a jazz giant, Roberts has received numerous awards including three consecutive DownBeat Jazz Soloist Awards, a Grammy-nomination medal, and was the only Australian semi-finalist in the 2008 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Saxophone Competition. He’s a regular member of both The Jeff ‘Tain’ Watts Quartet and Jeff ‘Tain’ Watts’ ‘Blue 5’, is also the newest member of Joey DeFrancesco’s new quartet, ‘The People’, and is currently celebrating his 7th record as a leader, Tales & Tones (Inner Circle Music).
