   About James Rosocha
Bassist James Rosocha holds a Bachelor of Music degree from the Berklee College of Music in Boston. A student of New Jersey's late jazz legend/ guitarist Harry Leahey and Dixie Dregs/ Steve Morse Band -bassist Dave LaRue, James has worked with various threatre, blues, R&B, salsa, jazz, fusion, funk and rock groups and has been fortunate to share the stage with jazz trumpet legend Randy Brecker, guitarist Hiram Bullock, Jay Beckenstein and Jeremy Wall of Spyro Gyro and Phish leader Trey Anastasio. He appears alongside Trey in the new Phish Companion book, which documents the band's history and music. Throughout his entire career, James has remained a long-time member of the BD Lenz Jazz Quintet who is signed to the NY jazz label "Apria Records" and who's music appears on various TV and radio programs. See James and bassist Marcus Miller in the January 2007 issue of Bass Player Magazine. James endorses Spector basses and Eden Amplifiers.

..."Note worthy too is Rosocha's extended solo on "Quiet Desperation," proving again that the electric bass in such hands claims a crucial and encompassing piece of musical turf."...Bob Gish Jazz Improv Magazine

..."Bassist Mark Egan plays beautifully throughout the album, but don't miss Rosocha .. and Paste"-smokin'!...John W. Patterson All About Jazz
