About Riff Raff Jazz
Paul Finnerty is a song writer guitarist, Paul has played in traditional jazz bands for years and has toured internationally with various bands. Paul started his own recording label called Riff Raff Jazz to promote existing jazz C.D.'s as well as give an outlet for original tunes. Pat Powell is Paul's vocalist and lyricist and working in conjunction with Peter Anson (sound engineer) Paul manages to cover a variety of styles ranging from adult contemporary to country, pop, rock and swing. All his music uses live musicians as Paul feels strongly about the demise of musicians to the soulless computer generated noises that seem to be dominating the scene today.
Pat Powell chose to make Sydney his home in 1981 where he is well known as a jazz, funk and reggae singer, he has worked and recorded internationally with some of the biggest names in show business Al Green, Michael Hutchence and Kylie to name a few.
In 2004 he teamed up with Paul Finnerty and they recorded a CD in the mainstream jazz style. They were quick to realize that the best way to promote their music was to write original tunes and in 2006 they brought out a CD which was done in the adult
contemporary style.
This year they have produced a CD which so far has been described as being in the 60’s pop style, although to either it is just good music. They incorporate a few tunes that have social conscience as they think it’s their duty to make people more aware of the circumstances in the world today.
