Embracing his love for a vast variety of stylistic genres, three-time GRAMMY nominated saxophonist, Troy Roberts is quickly becoming one of the most widely recorded touring artists of his time. As a go-to first call saxophonist, his name adorns several essential recordings ranging from the legendary Joey DeFrancesco, the iconic Van Morrison, the quintessential Jeff "Tain" Watts, the tireless Orrin Evans Captain Black Big Band, the critically acclaimed Kurt Elling, the breathtaking Veronica Swift, to numerous other jazz veterans, and newcomersconsidered tastemakers of their generation.
Roberts, a New York City based Australian immigrant, is also a prolific leader with sixteen releases to his name. Currently celebrating his latest, Green Lights (featuring John Patitucci, Paul Bollenback and Jimmy Macbride), Roberts maintains a busy recording and performance schedule with his quartet, his original project Nu-Jive, as well as some of the greatest artists of today.
PRESS:
Roberts, though young in age, certainly has an arsenal of abilities under his belt, and has the makings
and foundation of a lasting great saxophonist. Versatile in style, with a strong grasp of yesterday and
today, he is a force to be reckoned with no matter the setting. He is more than one to watch, he is one to
follow closely.
- JazzTimes Magazine
Roberts is a boisterous and effusive player, conversant but not busy. ‘Secret Rhymes’ has a bounce to it
and Roberts excels here as a leader, with an awesomely arranged album with just a touch more arch
than one can legally call straight-ahead.

Marina’s music is enjoying widespread airplay and rave reviews across the globe. She is also a respected educator, serving on the faculty at the Conservatoire Maurice Ravel in France as well as being the voice mentor for the LA Jazz Society’s Bill Green Mentorship Program.
“It is kind of rare when you hear a vocalist who can truly fit into the category of jazz singer. Such a singer is Marina Pacowski. Pacowski has a vocal quality when singing lyrics that is a blend of Blossom Dearie and Billie Holiday. Her scatting is rangy and intelligent. There are not many debut albums by a vocalist that reach the heights of excellence that Marina Pacowski has achieved on this one.”

Here they come. That notorious nine-piece jazz band out of LA that takes classic rock staples and timeless jazz standards and rearranges them into a colorful blend of ‘Mutt-Pop’.
Led by singer Sonny Moon and featuring top SoCal session pros, the presentation is swank, quirky, irreverent retro fun. The music is a martini mix of straight-ahead, big band swing, Latin, lounge and bop, with bits and pieces of rock quotes thrown in just to see if you’re payin’ attention. And it’s a gas.
Simply put, NUTTY is classic rock, all jazzed-up. And they’re coming. Finally.
"It's pure Vegas--really good Vegas--and a good time"
- Brick Wahl, LA WEEKLY
"A cunning approach with immediate appeal"
- James Nadal, ALL ABOUT JAZZ
"A one-of-a-kind band...a blend of jazz and rock'n'roll, served up with a swinging, old school Vegas swagger"
- Don Heckman, LA TIMES
“The music is as memorable as it is unique”
