Some photos from the Jan14 Esquivel big band CD release and exotica quartet show!

Press shot: The Esquivel big band

Press shot: the third-stream exotica quartet performing tunes from May's Third River Rangoon album

Mr. Ho leading the band on percussion! Can't have space-age pop without bongos...

Singers! Paul Pampinella (tnr), Leenie Doran (alto), Jennifer O'Neill (sop2), Yolanda Scott (sop). Muchos muchachos! 

Rusty Scott takes a burnin' solo on B3-Hammond Organ -  Yeyo!

Mr. Ho conducts the winds; that's a 5-octave marimba btw, not a xylophone :wink: 

Esquivel probably wrote the first written steel guitar music. Tim Obetz makes it come alive! Tev Stevig covers the rest of the guitar book and is also heard on oud with the exotica quartet.
