Came across this on the 'tube, an awesome groove, possibly some of Rocco's best playing! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4hS-aheTso
Love that sax in the pocket, pure funky goodness! |

I've been waiting for that to happen before I buy it. They also told me when I emailed them quite a while ago that all the video would eventually be available as a download. I'm supposed to get a email notification when that happens. |
