The final NJW Contemporary Jazz Series concert of 2011 will be Sunday, December 4 at 7:00pm and will feature the phenomenal jazz bassist Roy Vogt and his band.

Roy Vogt took up the bass in Texas at 14, inspired by Jack Bruce, Jack Cassidy, Chris Hillman and Noel Redding. His first mentor, Dallas bassist Ed Garcia, turned him onto the playing of Ray Brown and Stanley Clarke and detoured the young bassist into jazz and fusion. Roy worked in a variety of Rock, Funk and Country bands in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area until he joined the Texas fusion band Aurora.

This led to gigs opening for Larry Coryell and the LA Express and allowed Roy to meet and learn from Stanley Clarke, Miroslav Vitous, and Max Bennett. The music of the Dixie Dregs, Mark Egan with Pat Metheny, and Jaco Pastorius led Roy to the University of Miami Jazz program, where he received the first Masters in Electric Bass Performance awarded in the US in 1980.

In 1980, Roy moved to Nashville, TN where he has worked with Allman Bros guitarist Dickey Betts, country guitar legend Jerry Reed, and a host of major label Rock, Country, Contemporary Christian, and Pop acts.

Joining Roy will be Karlton Taylor on keys, Shane Roberts on guitar, Dale Armstrong on drums, and Dann Sherrill on percussion. This promises to be a truly memorable night of contemporary jazz. Admission is $10 at the door, no advanced reservations.
