| Rocío is currently in the studio recording her 3rd studio album, featuring a collection of Jazz Standards in new, fresh arrangements. Her goal is to have people dance to Jazz Music, the way they did back in the 40's, but with contemporary rhythms. Stay tuned for an approximate Christmas 2010 release! |

 Rocío Guitard's highly anticipated second album, Windmills, was released October 2008 in digital-only format. Produced by Jerry Strucker and Tom Disher at Disher Music & Sound in San Francisco, it features top-notch production, arrangements and musicians to portray a new set of songs that venture deep into Rocío's soul.
"I wanted to go a different route with this project than I did with Mosaïque," she says. "As much fun as I had doing a completely spontaneous record the first time around, I needed to see how far I could go not just into myself when it comes to writing, but also what an elaborate level of production could do to my tunes." The result is a stunning collection of deeply felt songs which provide the perfect backdrop for Rocío's outstanding voice.

 Released in April 2002, Rocío's debut album, Mosaïque, was recorded mostly unrehearsed. It is a portrait of the chemistry between solid musicians and their spontaneous deliveries, making each performance unique and unforgettable. Her intent was to capture the live energy she is known for, and she succeeded.
Mosaïque takes the music world on an eclectic ride through the lush landscapes of sound. Entirely written and produced by Rocío Guitard, Mosaïque features legendary musicians Howard Wales (The Grateful Dead, Harvey Mandell) and Terry Haggerty (Sons of Champlin). NCSA's Song Contest 2002 awarded the tracks "All Of You" with Best Jazz and "No Tengas Miedo" with Best World, and gave an honorable mention to "Ironically Blue". Watch Rocío performing "Just Because".
