Some repertoire for a club cafe?

Salieri

Hi guys. My uncle just bought a little decent cafe and asked me, my pianist and my clarinetist to play there every tuesday. So, any ideas for a repertoire to play there? Not only gypsy jazz, every kind of jazz style. Something slow or ... you know, to play in a cafe.

Thanks!
Stefan.

Some Mose Allison stuff is always very cafe friendly...Tom Jobim, Fats Waller, the key is to play what you want but to throw in the odd tune that is familiar to people.

Thanks. If anybody have more ideas, feel free to post. Thanks.

If you have any fake books, just use those. Tons of songs in those books. Most folks have the Real Book Vol 1, and it's a great place to start.

Off the top of my head:

Autumn Leaves
Because of You
Besame Mucho
Blue Skies
Caravan
Cottage for Sale
Cry Me A River
Do You KNow What IT Means To Miss New ORleans
Moonlight Serenade
Over the Rainbow
Out of Nowhere
Quando Quando Quando
Septemeber Song
Unforgettable

This could go on all night......

Look for a great melody. Real Book is your friend. Ballads go over great in a cafe setting

Thanks Tele very much. I've selected almost all the songs you posted here.
More songs is welcome!
Thanks!
