RANGER AND THE “RE-ARRANGERS”
Friday, May 22 at 7:30 p.m.
Seattle gypsy jazz band Ranger and the “Re-Arrangers” evoke the spirit of a Paris cafe and the raucous energy of a gypsy campsite with their unique twist on gypsy jazz. “At the heart of their sound is Ranger Sciacca’s sweet violin playing . . . his sense of melody and daring improvisations” (World Rhythm Webzine). Their tight rhythm section features a hand drummer, giving the music a bouncy swing and accentuating the joyful interplay between the two soloists. The band’s repertoire includes swing standards, traditional gypsy melodies, the music of Django and Grappelli, Brazilian choros, and Ranger’s unique originals. This gypsy string band quintet features acoustic rhythm and lead guitar, violin, mandolin, bass, and vocals. Tickets can be purchased at the door.
