O’s Notes: Sheila has a delightful voice that blends into the band as a harmonizing instrument or stands out when she belts out heart felt lyrics. This is a great mix of standards and originals filled with scatting, singing and jazzy blues. Longtime partner, co producer and guitarist Rick Matle has a cool solo on “Speedball” and keeps the band clicking elsewhere. Parenthe-Seizure is another winner from Landis.
