Roku for You

I'd like to take this opportunity to make those who aren't aware, a bit farmiliar with a new Burlington based group that is on the rise. Roku. They are a unique eight piece jazz band with an individual style with a personal friend of mine, Dan Ryan, on drums, and Russ Flynn on bass, Justin Monsen playing guitar and Ari Daiconis with percussion. The band's tight driving rhythm selection is comprised of Alex Wolston's trumpet and fugelhorn, Sean Feely and Christopher Diasparra on the sax, and the most current addition of Andrew Mallon on the vibraphone. Audience members have been seen "grooving on the edges of their seats" at Roku shows and if you are in fact so lucky, you could be one of them too. Roku is playing at Nectar's Bar on the 7th of this month at 9:30 in support of Dave Grippo. Check out this happenin' new group at www.rokumusic.com.

I've seen Roku every time possible. Those guys are the shit. Justin Monsen needs to take a more active roll; kick the horns out of the way when you take a solo. He rips it up, he shouldn't be hidden in the back.
