Dr. Octopus from Challenger Deep by Dave Manington's Riff Raff
Dr Octopus is my tribute to Joe Zawinul and Weather Report, which is one of my favourite bands and a big influence on me in my formative jazz experiences. I still find it incredible that Zawinul could play so many different keyboard parts at once so I've decided he must have had eight arms - like the baddie from Spiderman.
