South Beach Samba

"They are known as 'The Kings of Beach Jazz'..."

'Rocco & Rahj’ is the musical collaboration of recording artists and long time friends John ‘Rocco’ Altamura and Roger ‘Rahj’ Keay, reunited in 2010 after a 32 year hiatus. Along with decades of recording and performance experience in blues, jazz, rock, soul, R & B, funk and ambient musical styles, both are also accomplished song writers, producers and audio engineers. Their sound is best described as "Beach Jazz", defined as ”old school hot jazzy grooves ~ chilled with a cool island breeze of soul”, no doubt inspired by NJ/NYC roots and flavored with their present day Florida beach lifestyle.

Rocco and Rahj are most pleased to announce the release of our premier CD release entitled “Cool Burn”. Composed, recorded and mixed from January to July 2010, the songs and soundscapes on this CD are a synergistic extension of their collective musical soul.

"As this was our first project after a 32 year hiatus of recording together, this record is especially meaningful to both of us, and was truly a labor of love in it's creation. Our wish is that this music transports you to a place of happiness, peace and harmony via our musical vibe, one that we hope you will love as much as we did in creating it."

Cheers!> Enjoy the music... )))Rocco & Rahj
