buyers note: Download CD does not include cover songs that are included on physical CD. With a textured trained and sultry vocal quality, TOrch offers up two CDs - their 2nd CD (listed first here), "Before the Night is Over, is a 12 track collection of jazz/pop/vocal beauties - professionally recorded live to 2-track over a three day period in Austin, Texas - quite a feat - apparently enticingly easy for TOrch. The methodology of the record takes the listener immediately into the red nylon-wrapped candles in a lit narrow and smoky bar - it's intimate, and near perfect. The first track, Cole Porter's "get out of town", introduces the deep moving vocal Torchful throat of Seela. The timbre of her voice is intoxicating - and she is supported with precision and flavor by guitarist, Chris Vestre, whose smooth unassuming tone is a perfect contrast to the unavoidable landscape of Seela's phrasings. Rounding out the rhythm section are Jon Greene on drums and Chris Maresh on bass - and the impression is of a 30-year relationship of entrenched casual every night players. In "Before the Night is Over", Vestre provides a tutorial in jazz melodic and chord modulating guitar, mp3'd here is a clip. The bare unaffected production is evident in the metallic and organic tone of the ride cymbal in "High Maintenance" - as scat is the cat of the day. Our favorite track is the sweet as honey, "Sweet Honey Tree" - listen. We are enamored with TOrch - and there will be no surprise to their impending internationals success - perfect.
