Celebrate Jazz Appreciation Month at the Alameda Library
The Alameda Free Library invites you to a free concert celebrating Jazz Appreciation Month, showcasing the talents of the Dave Rocha Trio. The concert will be held on Sunday, April 30th from 2-3 pm at the Main Library, 1550 Oak Street.
Dave Rocha has been performing with his jazz group for more than 20 years. He has played in a number of major cities, including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle.
The Dave Rocha Trio plays an eclectic mix of jazz standards (Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, John Coltrane), “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.
This event is free, open to everyone, and made possible by the Friends of the Alameda Free Library. No registration is necessary.
