"\;It has a Gypsy jazz sound\, but we don't focus on that rhythm. I'm not trying to say we're reinventing swing\, but we've go t our own signature. We also find inspiration in the rhythmic drive and c ollective improvisation of New Orleans swing music\, that great gut bucke t sound."\; \n\nOriginally a trio featuring Ricketts\, guitarist Micha el Groh and stand-up bassist Ari Munkres\, Gaucho quickly attracted a daz zling cast of improvisers including accordion ace Rob Reich\, drummer/per cussionist Pete Devine (who gained a national following with the ragtime trio Bo Grumpus and recently started Devine's Jug Band)\, and reed exper t Ralph Carney\, a brilliantly expressive player best known for his many recordings with Tom Waits. The repertoire ranges from early American Song book standards and classic blues to vintage Latin American hits and Tin P an Alley pop numbers. \n\nThis Spring Gaucho recorded a new album Pearl w ith guest trumpeter Leon Oakley and New York based singer Tamar Korn\, wh o wrote the lyrics to three originals by Dave Ricketts\, and to be releas ed some time in the Fall. The above video\, shot at Amnesia a few months ago\, are a little preview of that sound.\nGaucho's website DTSTART:20130314T200000 DTEND:20130314T220000 DURATION:PT3H LOCATION:San Francisco SUMMARY:Gaucho END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
