Gently flowing instrumental with big chorused acoustic guitar chords creating a harmonic bed for the Jaco-style fretless bass to take the spotlight. Carefree and spirited! You'll find this one referenced on JoniMitchell.com!,

This song, from Roger's solo CD, "To Dream...To Dance", is a love song in the style of the great old Cuban ballads, a style with which Sting had great success in his ballad work of the '90's. It's a nod in that direction musically, and a personal statement lyrically.,

Danzon,
Exotic and ultimately upbeat theme with a Bombay flavor. A sitar sets the scene, and then is joined by a driving but light percussion groove for the sitar to improvise over. Reminiscent in parts of that famous Beatles tune from Sgt. Peppers, with a modern electronica attitude.,
Instrumental,
New Age Music,
Ethnic Fusion,
As the title suggests, a veritable gumbo groove of upbeat ethnic music sounds. Begins with powerful bass and dumbek, then drumkit, a sarod/violin loop, marimba, and accented by a stabbing horn section. Evokes a spirited desert caravan or exotic jungle safari. Soulful and physical!,

New Age Music,
Ethnic Fusion,
Lazy and rich melodic theme beginning with acoustic guitar, then very sweet counterpoint flute, and punctuated by distant drums with light hand percussion. Like floating down a river, this is a warm and elegantly simple theme, aptly described by the title.,

Dramatic Music,
Production | Calm Music,
Driving uptempo Samba arranged for Latin Jazz quintet, with flute lead and lots of percussion. The title tune from Roger's second CD, "Backyard Carneval", captures the mood of a street party, with a memorable melody and an infectious island groove. It's fast, happy, and hard not to move to!,
Latin & Caribbean Music,
Samba,
Majestic short theme beginning with sampled acoustic guitar, swelling to a gorgeous climax with electronic horn (soprano sax), dramatic toms, and strings. Quite dramatic and visual.,
Instrumental,
Dramatic Music,
Production | Ethereal Music,
Short, simple, and sophisticated. A repetetive piano figure is underscored by a very melodic "Jaco" style fretless bass, and understated drums with cymbal colors. Impressionistic chamber-jazz feel, reminiscent of the European ECM label recordings of the mid-80's. Very much a mood piece.,
