- “ A few years ago, I heard my first Esquivel music, "Other Worlds Other Sounds/Four Corners of the World" It was an awsome experience. I Love Live Big Band music shows, but I am yet to see a band that plays and sounds as close to What Esquivel had, and now there is you!!! Mr. Ho’s Orchestrotica is just great. Although this album is now out of print, I am having great difficulty finding even a used one. The most memorable songs in this album are, Ballerina, Day & Night, Magic Is The Moonlight, to say the least. I have many, many, big band friends who would love to attend one of your events here in Los Angeles, California. Will you please play here?”

- “ Thank you for preserving this important (and wonderfully evocative and entertaining!) music. It was quite a treat to see it performed "live" on the video. I hope I have the opportunity to see the Orchestrotica live sometime.”

Mr. Ho's Orchestrotica, formerly the WAITIKI Orchestrotica, is a Boston-based big-band dedicated to performing authentic transcriptions of Juan Garcia Esquivel's music, and other mid-century easy-listening artists. This is currently the only group in the world performing Esquivel's music, having meticulously transcribed many of the "king of space-age bachelor pad's" arrangements.
