Songs like, 'Take The A Train' and 'Satin Doll' by Duke Ellington, 'They Can't Take That Away From Me' and 'Our Love is Here To Stay' by George Gershwin' and songs from the shows and movies like 'Days of Wine and Roses', 'Misty', 'If I Were A Bell' (from Guys and Dolls.) Swinging, good time songs and ballads made famous by Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Doris Day, Miles Davis, Errol Garner & Nat King Cole along with smooth Brazilian evergreens like, 'Corcovado' and 'Quiet Nights' by Antonio Carlos Jobim.
