- In Memoriam
The composer, band leader, space-age popster, lounge godfather, and the
most swingin'est fella died on January 3rd at his home in Mexico. His
music undeniably brought smiles to nearly everybody it touched,
influencing a long line of bands you probably own numerous records
from. In a time where most big bands were making music for your mother,
Esquivel was mixing up bachelor pad music to explore the galaxies to.
Esquivel died only a few days after his second stroke in the last year.
Brainwashed wishes to personally thank him for making the world a more
sparkling planet.
