Gene Crose and the Rockets

Candidate group · medium confidence

What the evidence supports

The National Register nomination identifies the group and Russell/Cale participation; Frisco recalls joining Gene Crose's band in 1957.

Verify name variants, dated lineups and whether every Gene Crose band reference denotes the Rockets.

Confidence detail: medium. Evidence notes are not a count of distinct ensembles.
