Roger’s interest in the music and cultures of the African diaspora has served as a catalyst for his development of culturally specific programming that incorporates hand drumming, African and African American history, life skills and personal development for youth and young adults. Similarly, Roger has designed a group drumming process for older adults that diminishes the effects of aging and dementia.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Roger has performed with nationally recognized jazz artists such as Lonnie Liston Smith, Ahmad Jamal, Les McCann, Slide Hampton, Rusty Bryant and many more. Roger has lead his own jazz ensemble comprised of some of the best musicians in the central Ohio Area under the names of Seeds of Fulfullment, Ibada, Transcend and Path.
Roger was trained classically, but his primary interest is in set drumming, hand drumming and world percussion.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row iron_row_type=”in_container” iron_remove_padding_medium=”” iron_remove_padding_small=”” iron_overlay_pattern=”” iron_parallax=”” iron_bg_video=””][vc_column][vc_btn title=”Next bio” color=”danger” size=”xs” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.makejazznotwar.org%2Fbiography%2Froger-hines-bass-musical-director%2F||”][vc_btn title=”JPE history” color=”danger” size=”xs” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.makejazznotwar.org%2Fbiography%2F||”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
