Traditional Jazz, New Orleans Jazz, Dixieland

 

 

Formed in 1998 by veteran jazz clarinetist and saxophonist, dave quinn, razzmajazz started its musical journey on a riverboat (albeit on the fraser river, not the mississippi). The combo played on the royal city star paddlewheeler casino docked at the quay in dave's hometown of new westminster.

"i put the band together because i wanted to perform traditional jazz creole and blues style music. It's music that makes people happy"

razzmajazz is also a regular attraction on the paddlewheeler native, a charter boat that cruises the fraser river.

the band has performed live on the cbc radio program "hot air" with host paul grant and last summer performed for thousands at steveston's "tall ship festival". They recorded a commemorative cd and performed at the vancouver island hot jazz festival.
