SUMMARY:The North Beach Django
DESCRIPTION:Transport yourself to a 1930s sidewalk café in Montmartre as North Beach Django takes residency at Paris 75 every Tuesday. Located on the edge of the historic Broadway corridor\, this charming French lounge provides the perfect backdrop for the “Hot Club” sound. With its selection of authentic French cocktails and wines\, the venue feels less like a San Francisco bar and more like a secret sanctuary for lovers of European jazz and vintage aesthetics. \nThe Sound: North Beach Django delivers an authentic exploration of Jazz Manouche (Gypsy Jazz). Their sound is defined by the “pumping” rhythm of acoustic guitars and soaring\, melodic solos. Expect a repertoire of high-speed swing\, haunting French musette waltzes (like “L’Indifférence”)\, and soulful ballads that capture the bittersweet spirit of the early 20th century. \nThe Django Legacy: The group’s mission is to honor the revolutionary style of Django Reinhardt\, the legendary Romani-French guitarist who pioneered this genre. Despite losing the use of two fingers in a fire\, Reinhardt’s virtuosic speed and unique harmonic language changed jazz forever. The band keeps this fire alive\, utilizing the same acoustic string-band format—no drums\, just pure rhythmic drive. \nThe Players: The group is led by a core of the Bay Area’s finest “manouche” specialists\, often featuring Ned Boynton on guitar\, Eddie Scher on guitar\, and Kenan O’Brien on bass. Their chemistry is a masterclass in the “interlocking” style of Gypsy Swing\, where the lead and rhythm guitars work in a constant\, high-speed dialogue. \nThe Community Jam: In the spirit of the Parisian cafés where this music was born\, the evening often evolves into a welcoming session. After the first set\, the band frequently opens the floor to “acoustic sitter-inners”—strings\, accordions\, and woodwinds—making it a vibrant hub for the local jazz community. \n\nAbout Paris 75\nParis 75 is a sophisticated French cocktail lounge that serves as a cultural bridge between San Francisco and the “City of Light.” Named after the postal code for Paris\, the bar specializes in regional French wines and signature cocktails like the “French 75.” The intimate\, candlelit space is designed for conversation and attentive listening\, making it the ideal home for the acoustic nuances of North Beach Django. It is a place where time slows down\, and the legacy of the great European troubadours feels remarkably present.

SUMMARY:Gaucho Jazz
DESCRIPTION:Gaucho is a masterful Bay Area band that combines the influence of gypsy jazz of 1930’s Europe with the rhythmic drive and collective improvisation of New Orleans swing music\, gutbucket blues and elements of ragtime. Their sound\, a uniquely American concoction\, blends instrumental acuity and lighthearted humor that keep their audience coming back for more. As founder\, guitarist\, and main composer Dave Ricketts says\, the band is “in love with the music of Louis Armstrong\, Fats Waller and Jimmie Rodgers\, as well as the stories\, the life styles and the foot steps of hundreds of other great jazz\, blues\, country and rock musicians that created the sound of American Music from roughly 1900-1950’s” \nGaucho has recorded eight albums\, tours regularly\, and has an increasing repertoire of over forty original tunes. Seven of their tunes are featured in the 2012 film “Trattoria”; one was chosen by the Metropolitan Museum of Art for their website; and another is featured in the outtakes section of the Pixar DVD CARS 2. In 2018\, Gaucho got a song in the Hollywood Movie “Destination Wedding” starring Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder. And two of Dave’s own compositions will be placed in a New York City based indie film\, “Stationed at Home\,” in 2022. \nLed by eminent guitarist\, Dave Ricketts\, the group has been a San Francisco mainstay for nearly twenty years\, and one of the busiest bands in the bay area playing 5 to 10 gigs a week. Together with virtuosos Rob Reich–accordion and Craig Venetresco–guitar\, superlative bassist Ari Munkres\, the honorable Leon Oakley–cornet\, and versatile percussionist Steve Apple\, these guys keep crowds moving with their beats and complex rhythms.
