Mr. Ho's Orchestrotica: Third River Rangoon
Ma il multi-percussionista, vibrafonista e compositore Brian O'Neill (Mr. Ho), estraendo dalla sua apprezzata "Esquivel Big Band" un quartetto di stampo cameristico, allontana l'esecuzione dalle secche di una prevedibile superficialità manieristica, grazie ad una serie di piccole invenzioni esecutive. La combinazione poi di vibrafono (suono aperto con ampio uso di riverberi) e di flauto (sonorità eteree e dilatate) sposta ulteriormente la musica verso una third stream ammantata di world grazie all'uso di percussioni etniche e, in due brani, del liuto arabo. Il risultato è complessivamente gradevole, adatto per chi ama viaggiare con la mente verso mete da sogno e per disintossicarsi dalle scorie della frenesia quotidiana.
