Mr. Ho’s Orchestrotica—in its “Esquivel Megaband” formation—is the world’s only way to experience the lost space-age pop music of Esquivel, live. Via meticulous transcriptions from the original mid-century hi-fi recordings, the band has recreated this masterful musician’s lost arrangements of the Hollywood, easy-latin, crime-jazz, and space-age bachelor pad sounds of the 1950s and 1960s. Led by Mr. Ho (Brian O'Neill), a "percussion master and musical polymath" according to the Boston Phoenix, The Megband stirs up a sonic cocktail using six brass players, four woodwinds (covering 12 instruments), slide guitar, guitar, four singers, Hammond B3 organ, accordion, bass, drums, two percussionists, and Mr. Ho on piano and percussion as well.
