I love it ! Rocco has been a major influence on me as well as many others but I still love to use Rocco's right hand technique . Thanks for posting this , I really enjoyed it! jimmyj Advanced Member Username: jimmyj Post Number: 249 Registered: 8-2008 Posted on Thursday, January 13, 2011 - 10:15 am:    Blazing Rocco action! This is one of those bands that just kind of happened spontaneously - a great collection of innovative players that came together and created something unheard of at the time (or since, really). Great fun!

Rocco was serously ill with liver disease some time ago but now has recovered after a succesful transplant and is back working again richbass939 Senior Member Username: richbass939 Post Number: 1129 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Saturday, January 15, 2011 - 9:37 pm:    Great video of Rocco. On sax is Lenny Pickett with the SNL band. Speaking of which, gotta go turn on the tube. SNL is about on.

His technique pretty much epitomizes the concept of economy of motion. charles_holmes Intermediate Member Username: charles_holmes Post Number: 105 Registered: 3-2009 Posted on Sunday, January 16, 2011 - 9:02 pm:    Hee hee.. I remember when "What is Hip" came out!!!!! But I just used my thumb cause it was much easier to play that way! 811952 Senior Member Username: 811952 Post Number: 1889 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Monday, January 17, 2011 - 7:34 am:    Some would argue that when I play, I'm all thumbs.. *rim shot* I get no respect..

I played with him back in the mid 70's at some small clubs in San Jose, Ca. He tried to recruit me and a guitar player friend of mine to do some Vegas shows and we passed on the gig. Next thing I know he is the lead singer for Tower of Power. Rory
