"Rocky is my first call tenor player-in fact the only one I choose to call. I have plenty o' players to pick from in Los Angeles but I just can't get Detroit Motown soul like I always get from Rocky, so I have to fly him down here to get 'real deal' on my tracks."
Jimmy Hunter/Los Angeles producer-drummer/Cazador Recording studio owner.

"Rocky's horn breathes warm notes and velvet tones. Hands down, one of the finest sax players I've encountered."
Mark Stevens, Jazz Singer. jazzguy@sbcglobal.net
"Rocky Tatarelli exemplifies the marriage of soulfulness and musical skill on the saxophone. He plays with energy and is the kind of sax player that can make your toes tap, your head bob and your heart race; A versatile, talented, unselfish and disciplined professional; He lifts the level of any performance he's a part of. That's how I could describe Rocky Tatarelli."
Dave Jackson, vocalist and percussionist featured in the S.F.Chronicle
("His Voice Packs a Thrill"), San Francisco Bayview, Contra Costa Times,
