Plunge is a Jay Graboski original which appears on the OHO album Gazebo. This improvisation resulted from trial-and-error in formulating a keyboard part for Plunge. A challenging set of changes on which to improvise. This performance is replete with the growing pains of a work-in-progress.
He's in a rage
(from Doctor Faustus by Thomas Mann)". . . you need only tell a crowd they are 'the folk' to stir them up to all sorts of reactionary evil. What all has not happened before our eyes - in the name of 'the folk,' though it could never have happened in the name of God or humanity or the law! But it is the fact that actually the folk remain the folk, at least in a certain stratum of its being, the archaic; and people from Little Brassfitter's Alley and round about, people who voted the Social-Democratic ticket at the polls, are at the same time capable of seeing something demonic in the poverty of a little old woman who cannot afford a lodging above ground. They will clutch their children to them when she approaches, to save them from the evil eye. And if such an old should should have to burn again today, by no means an impossible prospect, were even a few things different, 'the folk' would stand and gape behind the barriers erected by the Mayor, but they would probably not rebel. . ."
. . . cooler heads prevailed

OHO? Aha! That's a name that rings bells. Baltimore's answer to Pink Floyd, an American underground icon, a band that came out of nowhere playing music the chroniclers swore was years ahead of its time. OHO sneaks around the musical conventions that have mummified so many others, unleashing sliders where you'd expect curve balls, fast balls where you'd expect change-ups. Part of its their sense of humor, part of it their unerring humanity. Definitely, one of a kind and all in good fun...its got to be.
Not only has the album AHORA finally been released, OHO continues to imagine and create new music, as evidenced by the single Cosmos of the Soul, also now available from most on-line music-sellers.
