Frank Rodarte Tickets

Frank Rodarte is a renowned saxophonist rooted in San Antonio’s vibrant jazz and blues scenes. Known for his association with the Dell Kings, Los Blues, and the West Side Sound—often nicknamed the “Wild Jalapeño”—Rodarte has shaped the sound of Texas Street-Level Jazz through decades of live performance and recorded work. His early sessions with the Harlem-era Dell Kings contributed to the 1961 singles Slow Down and More And More on Harlem 113, later highlighted on the compilation San Antonio Rock: The Harlem Recordings 1957-1961 (2000).

Beyond the Harlem era, Rodarte remains an active fixture in the San Antonio live circuit. He has performed with Holiday Saxophones and collaborated with regional horn players, preserving and evolving the West Side Sound lineage. In recent years, he appeared as a tenor saxophonist on Jerry David DeCicca’s The Unlikely Optimist and His Domestic Adventures (Worried Songs, 2020 digital; LP press in 2021), expanding his reach into contemporary indie-leaning projects while staying true to his Texas roots.
