Yes!  I play with them when I am not working with Jim in San Antonio.  Many of Austin's best musicians are in this group, which is led by reedman/arranger Jonathan Doyle.  The others are Lyon Graulty - reeds/arranger; David Jellema - cornet/clarinet/arranger; Mark Gonzales - trombone/arranger; Albanie Falletta - guitar/vocals; Westen Borghesi - banjo/vocals; Ryan Gould - bass.  Most of the musicians work in other Austin-based groups such as Aunt Ruby's Sweet Jazz Babies, Albanie and her Fellas, the Jazz Pharaohs, East Side Dandies, Copa Kings, Hollywood Revue, Datri Bean, White Ghost Shivers.  There is quite an active Jazz scene in Austin!!! 

Best,
Hal
