By the time they got to rosfest, they'd rearranged most of their songs to better use the drummer and the sax player, and though I like the CD, I think what they played at rosfest was at least an order of magnitude better. I'm looking forward to their new album coming out to see if they can capture that sound on a recording. we'll see.
Excellent, thanks! That helps - I thought it was markedly different, and the last two songs are all I have left to hear, so the "where's the sax" is resolved

Does sound like the songwriter is dominant...

the instrumental cut is nice
