Some of the west coasts premier artists will be paying tribute to the legendary Roger Troutman on an album entitled “Still Mo’ Bounce To Still More Bounce.” Roger Troutman was the lead vocalist and guitarist for funk outfit, Zapp, he also played bass, keyboard, guitar. He gained a lot of notoriety for his “talkbox”, a box with a mouthpiece connected to the keyboard synthesizer which distorts the voice, creating a robotic, computerized sound.
