Known for his dynamic sound, solid upper register, driving sense of swing and versatility, his musical legacy is embodied by his respect and regard for artistic integrity.

Roger has toured and recorded with many artists, including Louis Bellson, Quincy Jones, Tom Jones, Woody Herman, Maynard Ferguson, Arturo Sandoval, and Ray Charles.

While living in NYC, Roger was involved with over 20 Broadway productions and many live concerts and recordings. Between tours with Harry Connick Jr., he toured with Frank Sinatra and worked simultaneously with Wynton Marsalis and his Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. Ingram appears on seven albums with Marsalis, including the 1997 Pulitzer-Prize winning "Blood on the Fields."
