	Riff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In music, a riff is an ostinato figure: a repeated chord progression, pattern or melodic figure, often played by the rhythm section instruments, that forms the basis or accompaniment of a rock music or jazz composition.
		The term "riff" is sometimes regarded as slang, and is used primarily in discussion of forms of rock music or jazz.
		Some sources explain "riff" as an abbreviation for "rhythmic figure", however, the musical use of the term derives from its use in comedy where a riff is a short clever remark ([1]) on a subject.

	GFF Format Summary: Microsoft RIFF
		RIFF is a device control interface and common file format native to the Microsoft Windows system.
		Because RIFF is an umbrella name for a variety of multimedia files, RIFF files are referred to by the type of data they contain, rather than by the actual format name of RIFF.
		For example, a RIFF file containing Audio/Visual Interleaved data is normally referred to simply as an "AVI file" and not as a "RIFF Audio/Visual Interleaved Format File." Only a programmer might ever realize that all of these different files are the same format, or even care.

	Sonic Glossary: Riff
		A riff is a short, repeating melodic figure, of limited pitch range, and distinctive rhythmic character, somewhat akin to an ostinato.
		Prominent use of riffs in improvisations and as backgrounds for soloists gave birth to riff tunes, or jazz compositions characterized by extreme melodic and rhythmic economy and an often improvisatory flavor.
		Riffs are widely found in jazz, especially that associated with Kansas City in the '30s and '40s, as well as in blues, rock, and other genres.

		RIFFs are capable of holding various types of data.
		RIFFs were designed with mainly one target platform in mind: MS-Windows.
		The RIFX was included in the RIFF specs to for portability purposes, but many RIFF decoders are not capable of reading those files (DaubNet RIFF Viewer V1.3 now can!), so it may be wise for RIFF encoders to stick to that byte order, even on systems with Motorola byte order.

	Riff Raff
		Riff Raff brings together four men of varying musical experiences whose sound spans both rock and modern jazz but cannot be pigeonholed in either camp.

		Riff Raff made a most encouraging if somewhat hasty debut at London's Conway Hall and in something like half an hour manifested a superb show amalgamating moods with exciting melodies, catchy hooks and lots of free blowing.

	YEAR OF THE BLUES 2003
		Ask several people to define what makes a blues song a blues song and their answers are bound to vary — for some it’s the chord progressions, for others the instruments the musicians use or what they sing about, for still others a certain "feeling" to the music they can’t describe.
		In this spirit, Year of the Blues proudly presents these "Blues Riff" lessons intended to help you find your own definition of the blues by learning to play them.
		Although the lessons are guitar-based, the concepts they present can be applied to any instrument, from banjos and violins to amplified harmonicas and electric pianos, all of which have been used to play the blues.

	./~ Club Kaycee: Kansas City Jazz History -- Glossary
		For Kansas City musicians in the first half of the 20th century, a riff was a melodic idea stated in forceful rhythmic terms usually contained in the first two bars of a piece, repeated in the second eight-bar section and concluding with a return to the original idea.
		defines riff more formally as a "short melodic ostinato, usually two or four bars long, which may either be repeated intact (strict riff) or varied to accommodate an underlying harmonic pattern.
		The riff is thought to derive from the repetitive call-and-response patterns of West African music, and appeared prominently in fl-American music from the earliest times."
