Brian O'Neill
While I'm a percussionist these days, I originally studied classical piano. I put in a good 11 years, all the way through through high school. I also sung for many years in the world-famous Phoenix Boys Choir. At age 13, I started playing drums and percussion and about nine years later, I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor’s Degree in Percussion Studies from Northern Arizona University (thanks Steve). In 1999, I moved to Boston and have been freelancing as a drummer/percussionist ever since.
Musicians these days often wonder what my "main thing" is. I believe that my strongest characteristic as a musician lies in my diversity; I study and perform a variety of musical styles (orchestral, jazz, mexican folk, exotica, brazilian, middle-eastern, flamenco) on an equally-wide range of instruments

Mr. Ho's Orchestrotica: Third River Rangoon
by AAJ Italy Staff
La grafica di copertina, il nome del gruppo, il titolo dell'album e quello dei brani indirizzano senza esitazione verso la cosiddetta lounge music. Musica che non impegna la mente, che ti accarezza leggera come brezza che arriva dal mare mentre si conversa con gli amici gustando cocktails dal nome esotico... Ed in effetti Third River Rangoon ...
Mr. Ho's Orchestrotica: Third River Rangoon
by Dan McClenaghan
The “Mr. Ho" of Mr. Ho's Orchestrotica is vibraphonist Brian O'Neil, who has put together a vibraphone quartet, also featuring flute, percussion and bass, for Third River Rangoon. The music, dubbed “exotica," drifts back and forth across the less than distinct border between third stream chamber jazz and classical, with hints of world music influenced by ...
Geni Skendo: Breaking Free
by Gordon Marshall
Flautist and shakuhachi master Geni Skendo does not genre-mash so much as genre-crash, like a late-night interloper joining a lame party and livening it up with exotic sound. It's miraculous, this color he brings to anything, given the drab Iron Curtain he exited under on his flight from his native Albania, traveling to Boston, Massachusetts to ...
