"For the past few years, I have been fortunate to make music with Kemuel Roig on the bandstand with Arturo Sandoval, in many ensembles, and on numerous recording projects including my La-n Grammy-winning album Mamblue. Kemuel Roig is a true master of music and a piano giant. His energy, virtuosity, taste, harmonic and melodic vocabulary, and an incomparable ability to groove listeners and the band into a foot-tapping, hip-swaying celebration are traits that make Kemuel Roig one of the premiere pianists on the scene to come. I am proud to call Kemuel my colleague and friend. Listen and Enjoy!"

“It was a privilege for me to play on Kemuel Roig's new album and I think his best record ever “Genesis”. From the first few bars, you can tell you're really in for something well planned thought out and special. Not that lack of spontaneity because had great improvising on this production but I like this kind of record which really has some thought put into it and thought for the whole thing from beginning to end. All the different moods, all are different and wonderful compositions. Some of his and some tunes you already know but re-harmonized. This album is one of the best things I've heard in a long -me. Check it out it's going to be great!”

“Kemuel Roig is a truly gifted pianist, improviser, and composer. Possessing a serious command of the piano, Kemuel plays with fire, emo-on, and energy--yet always projects a mature sense of musicality and taste. A modernist deeply -ed to the jazz tradition, Kemuel has developed his unique sound and approach as a pianist and composer, combining elements of traditional and modern jazz, post-modern Cuban and Afro-Cuban influences. I’m always inspired and elated listening to Kemuel play!”
