Vibraphone player Roger Beaujolais has been a well-established musician since the '80s when he found early success touring with the bands Chevalier Brothers and Fairground Attraction, and later became heavily involved with the '90s acid jazz movement. Since then, he has worked with some of the biggest names on the UK jazz scene, and as a session musician, he has worked with everyone from Robert Plant to Paul Weller. As a bandleader, he has produced many albums with his quartet, and his latest album, Bags of Vibes, is a tribute to Milt Jackson and features the great Scottish guitarist Jim Mullen.

The Bossa Definitiva Trio is fronted by Paris born singer Véronique Joly, who was the featured vocalist on the BBC series ‘Rick Stein: French Odyssey’ and sings in English, French and Portuguese.
