Riffraff has been around since 1991, but in its present form since August 1996 when its new repertoire and line-up were presented at the Sion Jazz Festival ( Switzerland). This international band’s aim is to concentrate on less well-known masterpieces by the great composer-musicians of jazz. The band hail from various parts of Europe including France and Switzerland. The emphasis is on a lyrical dynamic jazz which reaches across the footlights.
 This makes for lively, swinging music which is accessible to the general public and at the same time intrigues the specialist fan through the originality of the repertoire and the virtuosity of the musicians.   The line-up has been static (all but one player) since 1996 - John Aram (trombone) Maurizio Bionda (alto & baritone), Michel Bastet (piano), Keith Feinson (double bass), Philippe Staehli (drums) This is a factor that explains the cohesion and intuitive understanding between the members of the group. They were very well received at the Festival several years ago and we are very exited about having them again as part of their UK tour.
