Meet the Musical Characters
The main characters in Razzberry Jazzberry Jam are a band of musical instruments. They each have their own unique personalities.
Louis the Trumpet
Louis is voiced by Cle Bennett. He is the energetic leader of the Jazzberries. Louis has been with the band since it started. He is a kind and understanding leader, but sometimes he can be a bit impulsive. Louis is named after the famous musician Louis Armstrong.
Ella the Piano
Ella is voiced by Christine Hamilton. She is the biggest instrument in the band. Ella is also the only Jazzberry who moves around on wheels. This sometimes makes her feel a little shy, but the band doesn't mind at all. Ella is the kindest member of the band. She loves music and the House of Jam very much. She is named after the legendary singer Ella Fitzgerald.
Billie the Guitar
Billie is voiced by Nicole Stamp and her singing is done by Jenna Andrews. She is the daughter of a musician named Elmore the Guitar. Billie is a bit of a diva. She knows she is very talented and wants everything to be perfect. Her impulsive and competitive personality sometimes causes disagreements with the other instruments. Billie is named after the famous singer Billie Holiday.
R.C. the Double Bass
R.C. is voiced by Maurice Dean Wint. He is another founding member of the Jazzberries, just like Louis. R.C. is usually very calm and quiet. But when he speaks, the other Jazzberries always listen carefully. He takes his music more seriously than the other members. For example, he preferred to dress up fancy instead of wearing a costume for a performance in one episode. His initials, R.C., stand for the famous musician Ray Charles.
Buddy and Krupa the Drums
Buddy is voiced by Steve Markle and Krupa is voiced by Jeff Kassel. Buddy is sweet, innocent, and full of energy. Krupa, on the other hand, is sassy and sometimes a bit negative. The drums often wish they could be separate from each other. However, they both have good intentions. Buddy believes everyone deserves praise. Krupa's desire for perfection comes from wanting everyone to be talented. Buddy is named after Buddy Rich, and Krupa is named after Gene Krupa, both famous drummers.
Annie the Fan
