So sad to lose such a legend of NZ music. He seemed to be everywhere in his heyday, teaching listeners and musicians alike about big band music, and keeping it relevant to the era. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks. Yes - he’s a legend. A hero. And was a tireless promoter and educator of and for the music. He is already so missed! Thanks for reading. Appreciate you comment.

Great write-up Simon. Rodger and his bands inspired many a muso in NZ. Thanks for sharing these memories
