When I saw them in Sonar last year they were playing only his compositions (i.e. the tracks from the Goodbye Swingtime album), no 'old numbers' at all - is the current tour different then? I'm going to see them in Edinburgh tomorrow... I know what you're saying about it not being 'cutting edge' as such because of the use of a retro form of instrumentation - but I enjoyoed it as a musical performance. Some bits of it work better than others but I still think this project has a pretty interesting and unique approach... Cheers, Tom
