Our Guest artiste was the highly qualified pianist, composer, arranger, music producer and (take a breath) educator Ben Fernandez who also brought along the most talented trumpeter, singer and composer Rick Roff. Ben and Rick entertained with all the favourites "Blue Bossa", "Autumn Leaves", "All of Me", "Lullaby of Birdland", "Hello Dolly", "What a Wonderful World", "Walking My Baby Back Home" to name a few. "I'm In Love With a Kiwi" an original composition from Rick concluded the afternoon. We were very privileged to have Ben and Rick (all the way from New Orleans) perform for us and look forward to a return visit guys - you are unsurpassed!
