As soon as he came on stage, he told everyone he was going to have a good time and he sure did. But he was not the only one who had a good time, everyone else did.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love Ghana, I had Banku and Tilapia today and it was very delicious, I am certainly going to come back for more,\u201d he told the excited audience.<\/p>\n<p>He hinted that he would be opening a night club in Accra very soon and this was well received by the audience.<\/p>\n<p>He then took the audience through some singing sessions before finally bringing the festival to a close.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V7JwfKueZps\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Adomaa did well to open proceedings for the well attended event doing a medley of songs. She did songs from Paapa Yankson, Kojo Antwi, R2Bees, Stonebwoy and Castro.<\/p>\n<p>She also did songs from her own repertoire and patrons enjoyed her amazing voice.<\/p>\n<p>Medical Doctor cum musician Knii Lante was also on point when he took his turn on stage. A choreography with Bob Marley\u2019s No Woman, No Cry urshered him on stage as he treated everyone to some great tunes.<\/p>\n<p>When she took her turn, sexy Stephanie Benson wowed patrons with her renditions. She also did her popular So Me Mu.<\/p>\n<p>Tom Braxton was also on the bill and his dexterity on the saxaphone could not be missed by anyone. He was joined by Steve Bedi and later by Aka Blay as they did Densu.<\/p>\n<p>The three-day Stanbic Ghana Jazz Festival which started on Thursday, November 2 was under the theme Sax &amp; Strings Cruise featured others artistes such as Gerald Albright, Yomi Sower, PFC, Jazz Accra Quintet, Blue Rhythms, Jasper Band, Francis Osei, Paa Kow and Ayisa-Dey.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FT_4jSSTblo\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/M6L-FQpt-W4\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 49 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Tuesday, 7 November 2017 Source: Graphic.com.gh 2017-11-07 play videoWhen she took her turn, sexy Stephanie Benson wowed patrons with her renditions &#13;
