Ranger and the Re-Arrangers
Ranger and the Re-Arrangers evoke the spirit of a Paris cafe and the raucous energy of a Romani campsite with their version of Hot Club Swing. “At the heart of their sound is Ranger’s sweet violin playing…his sense of melody and daring improvisations (World Rhythm). The band’s repertoire includes swing standards, traditional European melodies, the music of Django Rinehardt, and Ranger’s unique originals. Not to worry—this band, quite popular with the NDN crowd—is very versatile, playing many different kinds of dances. Hot Club Swing is characterized by upbeat, high-energy swing on acoustic instruments, especially guitar, violin, bass, clarinet, and accordion.
