Mike Keneally & Beer For Dolphins puts tone and rhythm section detail right out front. The late Friday live set makes more sense if you want specificity over scale.

Las GuaracherasLater this weekListeningJazzGlobal

Las Guaracheras is strongest when a jazz and Latin music performance context comes through clearly. The focused Tuesday live set has enough musical detail to compare honestly with the larger bills.
