Kind of off topic??... I have, they are quite good if you like Scott's
1930s Jazz compositions. They had one guy when I saw them who had a
smallish mid sized PAiA and they try a few experimentalish pieces but
for the most part is is like 8? musicians playing tightly arranged jazz
(though not as maniacally as the real quintett. I'd say they are a more
emotional and swinging than the Beau Hunks who have more accuracy, but
you wouldn't mistake them for Scott's Quintett)
