    Roger Dodger

    Jazz pianist Roger Kellaway is known as the quintessential musician's musician: eagerly admired by colleagues, critics and fans, but less familiar to the public at large. Yet he’s performing this week at the legendary club Birdland and he’s written music for Yo-Yo Ma, the New York Philharmonic, and the theme for the ‘70s TV show “All in the Family.” He joins us on the heels of the re-release of his classic Verve album “The Roger Kellaway Cello Quartet.”
