Island Gypsy rockers on stage at BIMA

Ranger and the Re-Arrangers, Bainbridge’s best-loved Gypsy jazz ensemble, will play a special free concert with guest Neil Anderson at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 5 at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art.

Andersson is a member of the Northwest Music Awards Hall of Fame. In 1993, he co-founded the seminal Gypsy jazz band Pearl Django, eventually recording 10 albums with the group.

The concert will feature music from Ranger and the Re-Arrangers repertoire of American swing standards, traditional Gypsy melodies, and the compositions of Django Reinhardt. Violinist Ranger Sciacca will provide the counterpoint to Andersson’s guitar.
