About the 2 bands
Mr. Ho's Orchestrotica is two groups:
- We're the only 21-pc big band performing the space-age pop music of Juan Garcia Esquivel. Led by Artistic Director and Arranger Mr. Ho, the group has meticulously transcribed the "king of space-age bachelor pad's" arrangements from the original recordings.
- The exotica quartet is a smaller, intimate group performing exotica, tiki, and modern jazz sounds. Led by Mr. Ho on vibraphone, this group performs new music by Mr. Ho as well as the classics by artists like Martin Denny, Arthur Lyman, and Milt Raskin.
