Ranger and the "re-Arrangers"/ the Music of Strayhorn/ Holiday/ Young at The Royal Room

About

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). The band’s repertoire includes swing standards, traditional Gypsy melodies, the music of Django & Grappelli, and Ranger's unique originals.

The Music of Strayhorn/ Holiday/ Young explores the music of Billy Strayhorn, Billie Holiday and Lester Young.
