All that can presently (April 2021) be gleaned about J. Rogers from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that he has been recognised as a singer of just one work namely Asleep in the Deep (1897) music by Henry W. Petrie, words by Arthur J. Lamb and published by M. Witmark and Sons, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, USA. Here, he kept and keeps company with many famous basses of yesterday and today.
