A cowboy-western kind of jazz band, sort of Magnificent Seven meets Benny Goodman, with accordion, banjo, and steel guitar. Many songs build from themes out of Western movies (including Mariachi and Latin-jazz ideas) and follow through with sax and trumpet solos. Crazy variety and fresh ideas, played with verve. Don't miss the funky turn on #5.
1- Kind of a cowboy-western jazz: Magnificent Seven meets Duke
2- Fast perky clockwork
3- Mariachi band with spackly rhythm guitar
4- Latin: Perky and mid/fast
5- Funky and upbeat. Midtempo.
6- Fast-driven but gentle swing with touches of modern classical
7- JFK's shooting: Old-school big band and jolly female harmony vocals
8- w/vocals: Gentle cowboy-crooning song
