Now is the time

Now is the time to start again

In the musical sense that is going to mean revisting all the standards I sort-of know, memorising them all then recording and performing them all

that starts with making a list and then ordering it


Afternoon in Paris
All of Me
All Blues
Autumn Leaves
Blue Bossa
Blue Monk
Blues for Alice
Black Orpheus
Canteloupe Island
Caravan
Freddie Freeloader
Footprints
Four
Girl from Ipanema
How Insensative
In Walked Bud
I remember You
It Don't Mean A Thing
Jelly Roll
Jordu
Maiden Voyage
My Funny Valentine
My Romance
Oleo
Prince of Darkness
Satin Doll
Sirabhorn
Softly As In A Morning Sunrise
So What
Summertime
