O’s Notes: Octobop is 1950s style octet featuring Geoff Roach (sax), Eric Patience (sax), Jon Schemer (tb), Randy Smith (t), Jack Conway (g), Dave Cassini (vibes), Brian Brockhouse (b) and Frank Wyant (d). They play originals and classics composed and arranged by members of the band.“Live @ Savanna Jazz“was recorded January 18, 2018 in San Carlos, CA to an appreciative audience. We also enjoyed this sixteen-song session. “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” has a Latin flavor with a lot of style. Other highlights include their covers of “One Note Samba” and “The Mooche” which truly captured the Duke Ellington Orchestra style!
