Billy Rogers (1950-1987) was considered by many people to be one of the greatest guitarists ever. Though nothing could beat hearing Billy live this album will introduce his playing to those that missed that experience.
Billy gained some notoriety (especially as a member of the Crusaders (from 1976-78, as well as with Jack McDuff, George Shearing, Dr. Lonnie Smith and Bobby Lyle), but his amazing jazz playing was never fully captured on any recordings -until the release of this album.
After searching through hundreds of tapes found in Billy's apartment (after he died tragically from a drug overdose in 1987), these four-track demos were discovered. By isolating his guitar tracks, we were able to play along with Billy, bringing to light these special performances. Long live Billy Rogers!
