Session II: An Inside Look at Transcribing and Reviving the Lost Space-Age Big Band Music of JG Esquivel!
This is Session II in the Remotely Music online concert series, brought to you by Mr. Ho’s Orchestrotica.
In this session, Artistic Director, Brian O'Neill (aka "Mr. Ho") will take you behind the scenes and explain the transcription process his group used to revive the lost space-age pop big band music of Mexico's equivalent to Duke Ellington, Juan Garcia Esquivel.
This transcription and resuscitation project began in 2004, and eventually led to the creation of the Orchestrotica's Megaband ensemble, and its debut recording, The Unforgettable Sounds of Esquivel.
During this online session, Brian will actually be working on transcribing a new Esquivel arrangement, answering questions about the process, and explaining the approach to reviving these incredible stereophile recordings from the late 1950s and 1960s—putting the audio back into musical manuscripts for his ensemble to perform.
