The Latin Jazz group will play compositions from Mongo Santamaria, Wayne Shorter, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Horace Silver, among others. The group consists of 10 Denison students, only three of whom are music majors or minors.

He recently completed his master of music degree in jazz studies at Youngstown State University. As a Denison student, Rogers studied percussion with Guy Remonko and composition with Ching-Chu Hu while playing in jazz ensembles led by Carroll and Pete Mills, including the Latin Jazz Percussion Ensemble.
