Dear Dear Erna, we are very sad to hear of Rodger´s passing, our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Alan and Paula

I listened to Rodger play way back in the downtown club when the servicemen came in for RR in the Vietnam War. My path often crossed again with Rodger in a band or two. Later in life, I was involved in performing, and Rodger was a great encouragement to me, and I was priveleged to do some work at a gig or two with a friend. I never knew of any Muso that worked as hard as Rodger and was as positive as Rodger. An amazing man who I will miss so much. New Zealand has lost a great treasure. RIP...

Such sad news of Roger's passing. My condolences go to his family. I met Roger at Massey University in Albany, Auckland where I was a mature student. He was not only a mentor but became a good friend to me. He was always encouraging and supportive to myself and all students. Not only was he a great ambassador for jazz music but also for New Zealand. He will be greatly missed, but his legacy lives on in the music he made and the musicians he influenced. Rest in Peace Roger, The Music is...
