In the 1950s and 1960s, space-age pop music became the lounge music of choice for “armchair” travelers, hi-fi lovers, cocktail-party hosts, and anyone else obsessed with modern living, polynesian-pop culture, and “exotic” far-away places. Mr. Ho Orchestrotica is a modern, intellectual interpretation of this music with a mid-century aesthetic and a love of the “easy modern life” of this time in America.

VIBRAPHONE QUARTET
Referencing the exotica of Martin Denny, Milt Raskin, Tchaikovsky, and Shostakovich among others, Mr. Ho‘s Orchestrotica—as a vibraphone quartet—presents an original third-stream collection of updated jazz, chamber, and world music reaching towards the South Pacific via Asia, the Middle East, the Balkans, and Latin America.

ESQUIVEL BIG BAND
The 23-pc big band is the world‘s only ensemble dedicated to 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.
