Album DescriptionThird release from the octet from Silicon Valley. After Dark features classics from West Coast Jazz. Tracks come from the works of Gerry Mulligan, Shorty Rogers, Henry Mancini, Jimmy Giuffre, Al Belletto, Steve Swallow, and Gerry Mulligan.

This CD brings back and updates familiar tunes from the TV show Peter Gunn, as well as charts from Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All Stars, Shorty Rogers' groups, the Gerry Mulligan Tentette, and the Dave Pell Octet. "Octobop has successfully taken the essence of the mid-size West Coast ensembles of the 1950s and created a modern approach for the 21st century." Ken Poston, Director, Los Angeles Jazz Institute
