Founded by Pell in 1953, this small jazz group, drawn from the nucleus of Les Brown's orchestra, was among the most popular jazz outfits in Southern California within months. The Octet's first library had the stimulating and ingeniously voiced arrangements of Shorty Rogers and Wes Hensel, which gave this group the feel of a big band.
