- What’s So Funny – features Guido Basso on flugelhorn, who captures the lighthearted swing of the song. Be sure to listen right to the end and you will know the answer.
- I Can’t Sing the Blues- Michele take us from a slow narrative blues to a “ dig your heels in and feel it” shuffle. The Hammond B3 and tenor solos create the perfect setting to illustrate the irony.
- Perspectivity- will grab you from all directions whith its full Latin montuno providing the foundation for the short syncopated and sustained rhythmically diverse melody. Bill McBernie’s wonderfully energetic solo helps to bring you an entirely new perspective on life.
- Simplicity- Pure and clean with just piano guitar an vocal, this gem is self explanatory beginning with a rich harmonic structure and melody, and finishing with a major scale leading to the tonic.
- Beginning to See the Light- Here Michele and the quartet shine in this collaborative, innovative arrangement of an old chestnut.
- Costa Rican Birds- Inspired by a trip to Costa Rica the changing rhythms and happy melodies and Bill’s slow cha-cha solo take us there again.
- Don’t Hide- a loose open bossa gives way to a fast samba and equally fast flute solo. The message is clear.
- Cara Boo- Here Michele wears the role of doting aunty as the music reflects the bright changing moods of her beautiful niece Cara. Mike’s tenor solo bounces us back to the last verse.
- Morning Moon- Just bass and guitar provide the shimmering foundation for Michele’s soft morning voice.
- Why Choose- Be sure to listen closely to the lyrics of this slow sultry blues to find out why.
- You must Believe in Spring- One of the, most beautiful standards lyrically and musically, of our time treated tenderly by Michele ,Bernie and Guido.
- Stop Talking- the final song lures us in with a slow bossa and then keeps us there with a sexy “ all feel” cha-cha. The band cooks right till the end
