The Century Room

About this event

($25-$35 + DICE Fees | 6:30pm & 8:30pm Shows | 16+) Three-time GRAMMY nominated saxophonist Troy Roberts returns to the Century Room for a two night residency! Friday night he performs his original music with his quartet featuring Angelo Versace on piano, Colin McIlrath on bass and Arthur Vint on drums. Embracing his love for a vast variety of stylistic genres, 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 newcomers considered 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.
