Blue Riff Big Band
Blue Riff Big Band has a traditional big band set-up, with around 18 members making up the saxophone, trumpet, trombone and rhythm sections. The sound produced is set to get the feet tapping and the heart pumping.
Talented, hard - swinging soloists and a vocalist complete the package, making for a memorable musical experience for all. The band has the versatility to play music from a wide range of styles: swing, latin, funk, groove, and rock’n’roll, with a good balance of both instrumental and vocal arrangements in its repertoire. There is plenty to be enjoyed by the jazz audience and those who love to get up and dance, with favourites from the Big Band era like Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Benny Goodman. The band tailors their performance to the needs and desires of their clients - one may require a full night of swing where another may prefer some background jazz over dinner and then to pick up the pace for the crowd to get down on the dance floor.
