...all that jazz

Our guests have been complimenting us on the music played in the breakfast room and in the public lounges. We have discovered that jazz is particularly popular especially the music of Norah Jones, Katie Melua, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Duke Ellington, Miles Davies and Nina Simone. ...so if that is your type of music then you are going to enjoy breakfast!!

Talking of music, I was thinking of which artists you probably won’t hear being played at the da Vinci...and here is my top 10 list..... presented in alphabetical order rather than a hierarchical list. I have included a www.youtube.com reference just in case you fancy a stroll down memory lane and want to hear any of them just one more time.
