Raisin Cake Orchestra
Raisin Cake Orchestra is St. Augustine’s first-class jazz quartet, performing traditional jazz, swing jazz, Dixie traditional jazz.
St. Augustine's Raisin Cake Orchestra is as tasty a jazz quartet as one can find in the South, with a line out the door created just by word of mouth. These elite jazz musicians came together in 2014 to form an ensemble based in the group's love of the jazz genre. Under the baton of keyboardist Scott Giddins, Raisin Cake Orchestra also includes Jim Snyder on the clarinet, John Chapman on the bass, and Benjamin Adkins on the drums. Their live performances feature an endless list of guest performers including a banjo jazz player, which is rare in that genre.
