Gaucho A Gypsy Jazz Sextet
Band Description Gaucho, a gypsy jazz sextet, was formed in 2002. The lineup consist of
Dave Ricketts and Michael Groh on guitars, Ari Munkres on standup bass,
Rob Reich on accordion, Ralph Carney on horns and Pete Devine on drums &
percussion. On occasion, guest artists bring their own spice to the mix.
While they base much of their repertoire in the music of Django Reinhardt
and the gypsy jazz of 1930's Europe, they also find inspiration in the
rhythmic drive and collective improvistion of New Orleans swing music and
the "gut bucket" sound. Gaucho is a first-rate ensemble, playing the music they love with boundless energy, passion, and humor.
