Biff Downey, Jazz vocalist, performs using a unique repertoire of jazz infused backing tracks of songs that were exclusively selected, arranged and recorded for him. These unique backing track arrangements include selections from the great American jazz standards, blues, Broadway, swing and recent mainstream songs. Biff usually uses twelve of these songs per a one-hour set with no or limited song repeats during a multiple set evening. These background tracks were recorded live in a studio using carefully chosen professional jazz musicians.
Biff calls his special chosen group of musicians:
The Majik Jazz Quartet
The
Majik Jazz Quartet instruments are:
Piano/Keyboard/Organ
* Upright
Bass
And
sometimes:

Biff also performs using the backing tracks of the
Majik Jazz Orchestra
which is an expanded Majik Jazz Quartet
adding a variety of
Brass, Wind, String and Percussion instruments to the group
Biff travels with a Fender Pro Passport P-250 Portable Sound System
