"How appropriate that Roger Smith chose to lead his relentlessly energetic, try-to-sit-still extravaganza My Colors with a slamming cover of George Duke's Miss Wiggle, because the keyboardist perfectly captures all the jazz/funk blessings of Duke... The first half of his tasty excursion in groove is a house music dance party with jazz chops even bebop purists can appreciate. Michael Paulo adds a graceful touch to a smooth cover of Jam & Lewis Can You Stand the Rain... We're talking the emergence of a potential jack of all trades monster performer... An exciting discovery. "

"Keyboardist Roger Smith couches his reverence for the classics in a mostly progressive setting on My Colors. Starting with the romp Miss Wiggle (So What!), which threads George Duke and Miles Davis compositions with a whacking percussion section and an undertone of party noise, Smith fills his album with unexpected combinations. While Fallin' Behind pits Smith's fleet-fingered, spiraling piano work against piercing guitar stingers and a busy funk background, Hopscotch offers deep, grimy distortion bass against a classy, straight up sax melody and piano chordings...

Nominated for two Jazz Grammys when first released in 1996, MY COLORS is a great collection of contemporary jazz that showcases Roger Smith's extraordinary sense of groove and mastery of the keyboard. Joined by a stellar collection of musicians and vocalists, MY COLORS is a wonderful insight into Roger Smith's unique musical vision.

We're happy that Roger has made this great collection of tunes available for re-release in 2010.
