In recent years, Seela (TorCH) has been a frequent guest vocalist.

Surprising blend of jazz and blues
author: Carl M. NielsenThis is interesting stuff. A new way around the elder jazzstyles, glowing and swinging with a guitardriven beat and a bluesy feeling. A little like Django meets Muddy Waters, often with suprising and unexpected results. A highlight is "St. James Infimery" played in a version with a touch of Tom Waits.
As sweet as it gets!
author: Datri BeanThis is a sweet CD of a legendary Austin band. Everything Stanley Smith (clarinet, guitar, vocals) does is magic. This CD is like sitting on a big wide porch, on a hot, muggy night, drinking corn whiskey, while listening to some of the most charming players Austin has ever had.
