The Scafusia Jazz Orchestra is a young formation entirely devoted to traditional jazz. The six players and their piano accompanist all set their hearts on playing Blues, Ragtime, New Orleans, Dixieland and Swing of the 30s and 40s as near as possible to the original style, to the enthusiastic delight of young and old. The drive of the players and the consistently expert way they perform together radiate not merely the instrumental ability, precision and virtuosity of the individual performers, but also their spontaneous delight in improvisation and above all their joy in the music. The founding of the Scafusia Orchestra goes back some time; the band began weekly rehearsals in March 1999 and on 21st August of that very same year they gave a brilliant inaugural concert in the «Guildhall zum Rüden» in Schaffhausen.   More >>
