Other Notable roles include The Russian in “Chess,” The Sheriff in the West Coast premier of “Desperate Measures” and Porgy in “Porgy and Bess." The Glendale News raved, “Baritone Rock, with charm to spare, shifts smoothly from crisp jazz phrasings to the operatic…” The Hollywood Progressive proclaimed, “The youthful Rock is establishing himself as one of his generation’s foremost interpreters and performers of The Great American Songbook.”

Rock says, “I am interested in not only jazz voicings, but moreover, the art of storytelling in song and being present and at your most vulnerable when caressing a song…to bring out the full spectrum emotions lurking beneath the words.” Rock’s highly esteemed heroes are Johnny Hartman, Billy Eckstein and Arthur Prysock on the Jazz side, and Paul Robeson, Roland Hayes, Franco Corelli and William Warfield on the classical side.
