While originally based on the repertoire of Django Reinhart and the gypsy jazz of 1930's Europe, Gaucho finds inspiration in the rhythmic drive and collective improvisation of New Orleans swing music and the “gut bucket” sound. Let by Dave Ricketts on guitar, Gaucho won the Best Jazz and Blues Band SFweekly Reader's Poll in 2009.

3:15 p.m. Gaucho. Musica en vivo con este sexteto de jazz de San Francisco, el único grupo de su tipo influenciado por la musica gitana. Su repertorio original se apoyaba en Django Reinhart y el jazz gitano de la década de 1930 de Europa. Ahora, Gaucho encuentra su inspiración en el ritmo y espíritu de improvisación de la música swing de Nueva Orleans y en el sonido “gut bucket”.
