Suite 2069 was inspired by a couple’s staycation at a 5-star Las Vegas Resort Casino on the Strip. When the couple went to register and it was discovered that they were locals, they were then offered a free upgrade to a suite on the 20th floor that perfectly overlooked the strip. That suite’s room number was 2069. Which by chance, 69 happens to be the couple’s number. Not for the reason you may think. (Don’t be naughty) but because one’s birthdate is on the 6th of the month and the other is on the 9th. Something special always happens to them when something is tagged with the number 69 or 96. Especially that 3-day staycation in that suite. Keith Marlo's sax, James 'JD' Davis's guitar solo plus Dedae's lush vocal overlay sets the romantic mood. So, this beautiful song serves as a forever reminder of those 3 days.

Bandleader Greg "GR" Radford with over 40 years in the music industry has produced, recorded, performed or written with many artists from Spoken Word to R & B to Smooth Jazz.

Even as a child Diane (aka Dedae' Patrise) was destined to become an entertainer.

Graduating from the prestigious Arts High School of Performing Arts in Newark NJ, that produced the likes of Sarah Vaughn, Melba Moore, Wayne Shorter, Tisha Campbell and dancer Savion Glover. She began soaking up Musical Theater and traveled with the national/ international touring companies of the off-Broadway musical 'Mama I Want To Sing'. Since then, Diane’s career has formed long time relationships with artists like Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, The Righteous Brothers and the very first girl group of rock and roll, The Shirelles. She has also served as background for many live and recorded performances for numerous artists. Now, being a Co-Founder of Jaz-Zay Soul Recordings and a member of Fahrenheit 702. The composer, vocalist and musician is over the moon about the company's 'Premier' smooth jazz presentation...Fahrenheit 702 ‘Getting’ In The Game Vol.1’. “For this wonderful music to finally get to the ears and hearts of our family of listeners is truly a blessing and a dream come to true”.
