The Waterfront Jazz Series - Dave Rocha Jazz Group

Dave Rocha Jazz Group

Enjoying live jazz music on the shores of Suisun Marina with the cool breezes from the Suisun Marsh is a fantastic way to spend a lazy summer Sunday afternoon.  Bring your family, friends or church group to the Waterfront District for an afternoon of great music and picnicking!

The concerts run weekly from 3-5 p.m. on Harbor Plaza at Main Street and Solano 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.

His band plays an eclectic mix of jazz standards (by Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, John Coltrane, etc.) “pop” tunes (Cole Porter, Gershwin and Jobim) and original compositons. 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.
