Will Ackerman, Grammy Award winning recording artist and founder of legendary record label Windham Hill Records (George Winston, Alex DeGrassi, Michael Hedges, Liz Story...) says this after producing Rocky's newest CD"THE PATH AHEAD...and steps then taken""I think this story says a lot. I was performing a concert about a year ago along with a handful of some pretty talented people. I invited Rocky Fretz up to do a piece and the audience just went nuts. I’d always thought Rocky was brilliant, but seeing the reaction of the audience went a long way to convince me that the world sees him in the same way."Rocky moves between heartbreakingly gentle beauty and driving rhythm with utter grace, somehow merging these worlds seamlessly in his composition. He is as gifted a pianist as I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. He has 30 years as a performer and recording artist behind him and it shows. He is a consummate performer and a marvelous composer.Will AckermanWindham County, VermontRocky comments:"I am very proud of this new CD. Working with Will Ackerman and Grammy winning engineer Corin Nelsen along with all these award winning and famous recording artists was the highlight of my music career thus far."This CD is 1/2 solo piano and 1/2 accompanied...of those a few are duo performances and a few are full ensemble productions featuring all the players listed above."The Path Ahead...and steps then taken has been submitted for consideration for the 2010 Grammy Award nominations.
