Okavongo

Composed and arranged by Greg Hopkins




Okavongo is a beautiful piece written and arranged by the great Greg Hopkins, from his Greg Hopkins 16 Piece Jazz Orchestra 2001 album of the same title.

Greg Hopkins, Jeff Stout, George Zance, Don Gorder, Paul Fontaine, Scott Deogburn, John Daly (t, fh); Rick Stepton, Tony Lada, Tim Kelly, Jeff Galindo, Jerry Ash (tb); Mark Pinto, Bruce Nifong, Larry Monroe (as, f); Bill Pierce (ts, ss); John Griener (ts, ss, f); Mark Phaneuf, Tommy Ferrante (bar, bcl); James Williams, Tim Ray, Chris Neville (p); Bruce Gertz, Paul del Nero (b); Mick Goodrick (g); Joe Hunt (d)

Speaking of titles, it is mistitled in the IHBB book as "Okalvongo"—there's no "l" in the title, which, given the feel of the piece, is likely a reference to the river or region in Africa.
