"The world was

    changing, but John’s love of music and his art was always a constant. He loved sharing his joy of music and the arts with family and friends. 

For all of us, these artistic moments will forever change music and the arts. You see, my father, John La Torre, born in 1929, made history when he formed and lead America's first professional, racially integrated, rock 'n' roll band! "
