Jazz faves with special guest set for Treehouse show

Ranger and the Re-Arrangers, with special guest Libor Michalak, will perform a free concert at the Treehouse Café from 7 to 9:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19.

Donations will be accepted.

Michalak is one of Vancouver, British Columbia’s top players of clarinet and saxophone, said Re-Arrangers frontman Ranger Sciacca. Michalak attended the Toronto School of Music, leads the jazz group Swing2Beat, and is a frequent guest with other Vancouver Gypsy jazz groups.

The Re-Arrangers met him at the annual Djangofest event, were very impressed with his playing, and are excited to bring him to Bainbridge Island for the first time.

The concert will feature music from Ranger and the Re-Arrangers’ repertoire of swing standards and Gypsy jazz melodies.
