Featured Musicians

Dave Quinn has been playing tenor sax and clarinet professionally for more than 40 years. After majoring in music at Douglas College, he moved to Toronto in  1976 to study with Steve Lederer, the lead tenor saxophonist for Woody Herman’s Band. Returning to Vancouver in 1980, Dave worked as a woodwind specialist at Northwest Music.

In 1986, Dave founded RazzMaJazz, initially focusing on clarinet. The group quickly became a staple on the Royal City Star Riverboat Casino in New Westminster. By 1994, the RazzMaJazz Trio was formed to cater to smaller venues and special events, gaining popularity as they do today.

In 2018, Dave took his passion for jazz to the next level by forming RazzMaJazz Entertainment Productions (REP) and co-founding the Fort Langley Jazz & Arts Festival, where he continues to serve as the artistic director. As a band leader, Dave remains actively involved in booking events for REP and engaging audiences with his versatile and swinging style of traditional jazz, blues, soul, and funk.
