First off, thanks to some of the TC ohana for their purchases and support of the Orchestrotica's newest CD. The reviews are now coming in, including props from All About Jazz! These are some highlights from today's press for "The Unforgettable Sounds of Esquivel," our current 23-pc big band release that officially went live a few weeks ago. We are very happy with the positive comments, especially those "outside" the lounge/exotica scene!

"...The Orchestrotica that so beautifully interprets Esquivel's work...breathes fresh life into these marvelously odd arrangements, with a clear understanding of just what their creator intended them to do... an album that just wants to play and have fun." - All About Jazz

"...11 pieces that stretch the imagination...a terrific album, well worth many a listen..." - CanadianAudiophile.com

"...the trumpets are barely contained, the congas & bongos play with no shame...The stylistic reach on display illustrates both Esquivel's creative outlook and the Orchestrotica's ability to render it." - Mark Saleski (Something Else!)

Just a reminder - use the TikiCentral banner ad to get free shipping on the disc. We are also offering a holiday special, and there's more to come still!
