Gaucho Jazz

Get ready for a unique blend of vintage sounds with Gaucho Jazz at the Winter Walk in Union Square!

Join us on Thursday, December 18 for a special performance by the masterful Bay Area band, Gaucho. For nearly twenty years, this group has been a San Francisco mainstay, blending musical traditions from two continents.

Gaucho’s sound is a uniquely American concoction, combining the sophisticated influence of 1930s European Gypsy Jazz with the rhythmic drive and collective improvisation of New Orleans Swing music, gutbucket blues, and elements of ragtime. Led by guitarist and main composer Dave Ricketts, the band is in love with the classic American music that created the sound of the mid-20th century. With their expert blend of instrumental acuity and lighthearted humor, Gaucho always delivers a performance that keeps crowds moving.

Don’t miss this chance to experience their energetic and original sound right in the heart of the city!
