Latin-Jazz instrumental musique beggars belief.

technical ability and full emotional expression. A view shared by professionals and
tax dodgers alike.

:: With the band featuring turntables, guitar, drum set, keyboards, sampler and
guitar synth this quartet bridges the gap between the traditional jazz ensemble and
more contempory styles.

:: Since their formation ROKASAYERS have experienced numerous rave reviews
from both public and press alike...

"ROKASAYERS, meanwhile, stole the whole festival. They haven't merely discovered the
lost chord - they've unearthed a whole cluster of them. Electric guitar, keyboards, drums
and turntables came together to create a haunting, kooky mish-mash that sounded like
Can dismembering Thelonious Monk. Dedicating their pieces to such objects as their
favourite window blind, these young men have dreamed up soundtracks to unfilmable
movies, and yet they don't even have a record contract. Catch them before they beam
back to their home planet"
- James Griffiths, The Guardian

"After a rave review in the National Guardian about their performance at the Lancaster
Jazz Festival, ROKASAYERS had a lot to live up to on their return to The Gregson.
However, they quickly proved that, if anything, they have matured and have produced
yet more fantastic numbers ... by the end of the gig everyone was smiling, but it was
the music, not the programme notes, that had this effect.
ROKASAYERS are indeed a rare species. I reckon it won't be long before the world gets
to hear of their talents."
