Has this guy done anything to warrant a Wikipedia entry? LexisNexis gives me nothing, and google just gives me the label's website and not much else. --Robert Merkel 05:44, 9 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Yes. He wrote a book on Tal Farlow, an influential jazz guitarist who disappeared from the jazz scene for several decades to work as a sign painter. Rochinski coaxed Farlow out of retirement just a few years before Farlow passed away in 1998. It was a major event in the jazz guitar world; and relative to many other articles that are defended on VfD, I think this warrants including Rochinski in the Wikipedia. Besides being an author, Rochinski teaches in the Harmony department at Berklee College of Music, and has released several CDs. Cribcage 03:23, 4 Apr 2004 (UTC)
