Bob Parlocha

Born and reared in Vallejo, California, Bob learned about jazz from his mother's Count Basie and Duke Ellington records. In high school Bob played tenor and soprano saxophones and flute and sang in road bands.

For 10 years jazz remained a hobby while he worked in psychiatric nursing at UCSF, developing interpersonal skills that would serve him well in the music business. After one routine day at the hospital, he heard Pat Henry of KJAZ in California inviting prospective deejays to submit audition tapes. Bob sent in his tape and Henry ultimately hired him to program Saturday evenings.

When he's not recording segments for broadcast, he can be found in the kitchen improvising dishes to satisfy his gourmet-cooking hobby.

Bob can be heard nightly on JAZZ.FM91.
