Town Center Corte Madera “Summer Music Series” Presents: Dave Rocha Jazz group July 27, 2008

Town Center Corte Madera’s Summer Music Series returns, with a selection of bands set to entertain and enhance the Sunday shopping experience. The Series runs through October 5, each Sunday from 2-4PM, in the center court area in front of the Elephant Fountain.

Dave Rocha has been performing with his jazz group for more than 20 years. He has played in major cities, including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle. The band plays an eclectic mix of jazz standards (Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, John Coltrane, etc.) “pop” tunes (Cole Porter, Gershwin and Jobim) and original compositions. This covers a wide variety of styles from up-tempo bebop, “modal” tunes, swing and blues, to Latin jazz, ballads and jazz waltz. In addition to his trumpet expertise, Rocha is also an accomplished flugelhorn player. This instrument is similar to the trumpet, but has a larger bell, which gives it a darker, mellower sound.
