Jazz Diva and long-time SF Bay Area Talk Show host, Frankye Kelly introduces Rolando Morales, the musicians' musician. When great musicians such as the Three Tenors have a private celebration - they hired the Rolando Morales Group.

Rolando has performed throughout Spain, England, Italy, Ireland, Mexico, and Hawaii. In Los Angeles, he largely played electric guitars. Just out of college, he played with a 9 piece casual band comprised of members who backed such stars as Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye, and Poncho Sanchez. Later after attending law school, he eventually realized that his passion really is music. He then returned to his passion, the acoustic nylon-stringed guitar, and co-founded the very popular band Passion and Grace in 1991 with Carlos Godinez. Together they expanded the capabilities of blending Latin jazz with flamenco, classical, Brazilian and pop influences with guitar and voice. Eventually the Rolando Morales Group was formed entertaining and enchanting audiences everywhere they go. You can see them.

Usually the Rolando Morales Group plays privat events for people such as the Three Tenors, the Prince of Whales, Demi Moore and many corporations too numerous to mention.
