Described as having, ‘a sound one can absolutely luxuriate in,’ The Riviera Quartet aim to capture the essence of early 1960s Dizzy Gillespie/Lalo Schifrin on the French Riviera with original compositions that draw as much from AC Jobim as they do from Horace Silver, but with a contemporary twist. The mission statement: to bring the combined energy of Bossa Nova, Blues and Bebop to new listeners and to build a broad audience. Imagine driving along the highway from Nice to Monaco, or even Los Angeles to Monterey, in a convertible – this is the music you would listen to.
