About this user

Ranger and the Re-Arrangers evoke the spirit of a Paris cafe or a Gypsy campsite with their unique twist on gypsy jazz. Intriguing melodies played vigorously on stringed-instruments give them an acoustic, driving sound; their hand drummer adds a world rhythm beat. The band has been playing around the Northwest together since 2006 and features two outstanding jazz improvisers, Ranger on violin and Dave Stewart on mandolin. The bands repertoire includes swing standards, traditional Gypsy melodies, the music of Django & Grappelli, Brazilian choros, and unique originals. The band has won several accolades and awards including being a Finalist for an Independent Music Award (2007 and 2009), Best Song, World Traditional Category and winning a Global Rhythm Magazine Song Contest, Gypsy Moon (April 2007)

At the heart of their sound is Ranger Sciacca's sweet violin playing his sense of melody and daring improvisations. World Rhythm Webzine
