SLM and Catch 22 are essintialyl the same band since Tom Kolnacy was in both bands, and he writes all the music. Most of the heads and horn lines don't deviate from mixolydian, Major and Minor keys...and easy ones at that (A, G, F, C, D). The changes also are fairly simplistic and are somewhere between basic ii-V-i changes and using bass-lines that change over 1 or 2 chords (STM's Falling, Flailing is a good example).The solos, especially streetlights t-bone use modulations from minor to dorian, or they just stick straight to the changes with either major or minor chords. As for some chops work, the solos use a lot of scalular runs and octave displacement.
