Jazz Roots is a musical group that has been together 10 years. We have made 9 albums. Ken Roy Berry- Keyboards, Vocals & Left hand Bass and Drummer Chris Braun have been the core of the group since it's inception.
The 3rd and 4th members of the group are a combination of people Chris played with in New York and now live here and musicians in the Bay Area ,depending on the situation. Our repertoire is a combination of the New York style of jazz Music where Chris lived since 1973 and the different traditions of American Music that are The Roots, as well as jazz of Ken Roy Berry's Music coming from the Bay Area. The Many aspects and styles of Jazz specifically since the late 1940's are all part of our repertoire as we have rehearsed every week 8 of these 10 years except 2 of those when we had a steady Job. We consider Jazz Roots a work in progress always learning and working on new and different music all the time. This makes for an enjoyable, Diversified and meaningful sound for our audiences.
