Jazz guitar. Wennas keeps things in a mostly straight context -- he's got lots of '50s lounge and probably bossa nova in his collection -- that sometimes lets the band veer into wandering jams. The results are sometimes pretty tunes that just sit there (3) or a nicely unfolding palettes for jazzy solos (2,6). A vocalist joins for a few songs with middling results.

1- Quirky midtempo bop w/wordless vocal.
2- Mid/slow, a bit bluesy, a few jagged post-bop lines
3- Fairly slow, pretty. Italian(?) vocals near the end
4- Midtempo and kinda swingy
5- Female vocs., a slow romantic song, '50s retro
6- Midtempo riff, laid-back jam feel
7- Romantic acoustic, midtempo, lotsa bass
8- Slowish with gutsy wandering guitar solo. Ends with proggy wordless vocals.
