We have just released a Music Video for the song "Não Me Acorde Não" (Please Don't Wake Me), filmed in Recife, Brazil with Spok and members of SpokFrevo Orquestra. The song tells the story of the wonderful and surreal experience of Carnaval in Recife that Sandy and Jeff experienced in 2015. Spok arranged Sandy's composition, and in 2016, she returned to Recife to record the song for the "Entre Amigos" CD; and in February 2017, Sandy, Jeff and Natalie went to Recife to perform as part of a project "Do Jazz ao Frevo" (From Jazz to Frevo), performing with Spok and his musicians, and filming the video. Click on "Não Me Acorde Não" to see the video (and it is also on our Photos/Video page).
