EPISODE 118 - Troy Roberts

A three-time GRAMMY-nominated saxophonist and composer, today’s guest has become one of the most in-demand musicians of his generation. Equally at home in a variety of styles, he has recorded and toured with legends like Joey DeFrancesco, Van Morrison, Jeff "Tain" Watts, Orrin Evans, Kurt Elling, and Veronica Swift, solidifying his reputation as a first-call saxophonist.

With sixteen releases as a leader—including his latest, Green Lights, featuring John Patitucci, Paul Bollenback, and Jimmy Macbride—he continues to push boundaries both with his quartet and his electrifying project, Nu-Jive. His dynamic approach to the saxophone and fearless exploration of sound make him one of the most exciting voices in jazz today.
