Debut Album "Bop Tribal". On sale at amazon.com, CD Baby, iTunes store, local stores and here.
The collective assembled by leader Satomi Yarimizo (piano), BOP TRIBAL showcases the fierce improvisational prowess of its members. DeShannon Higa (trumpet) & Reggie Padilla (tenor saxophone) provide the dual melodic elements while Yarimizo, Abe Lagrimas Jr. (drums), and Shawn Conley/Jon Hawes (bass) lay down the groove like a well-oiled, high octane machine. B.T.'s home base is in 50s hard bop, but it adeptly weaves its way through modal jazz, bebop, post bop, and even hip hop. This is quintessential New York jazz, transported to the Honolulu stage!
All sample songs were performed by Satomi Yarimizo(piano), DeShannon Higa(trumpet), Reggie Padilla(tenor saxophone), Shawn Conley(bass), Abe Lagrimas Jr.(drums) at Pearl City Curtural Center on June 2nd, 2008. 'On The Edge', 'Jellyfish' and 'Manoa Mist' are composed by DeShannon Higa. 'Tune 4 April' is composed by Reggie Padilla.
