The band started  playing “Samba De Orfeu” with herb lewis (t.sax) sitting in. Jeff then took it upstairs with “what is this thing called love” (a hard question to answer!)

They then switched gears and had stephanie jeannot come up and sing whitney houston’s classic, “saving my love for you” and the jazz standard, “ain’t misbehaving” . Stephanie also sang “smooth operator” by sade.

Jeff then wanted to go somewhere else and called a bird tune “cool blues” with sir charles playing percussion.
