With Deep Night the San Francisco sextet Gaucho takes its rightful place as one of the most creative and joyously syncopated ensembles inspired by legendary Gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt.

The group's third album, Deep Night was recorded live at Amnesia, where for the past seven years, Gaucho has held down a regular Wednesday night gig. Over the years the hip Mission District nightspot has become an invaluable proving ground for Bay Area bands. As the first group hired by club owner Shawn McGee, Gaucho launched the club's music policy and earned a devoted following with a combination of zany humor, playful irreverence and deadly serious musicianship.

Reviews

"Gaucho scores high marks for integrating the rhythms of world cultures in their music while also retaining a slice of Americana with elements of ragtime and the old-time country-swing of riverboat bands. They offer more than a typical gypsy-jazz ensemble and their love of this music is inspiring."
— Susan Frances, Jazz Review


"Deep Night is fun, catchy and very enjoyable. It's one of those 'feel good' albums that lets you travel the world in your own living room... There is a divine sense of passion between each artist and their designated instrument. Deep emotion is truly rooted in Deep Night."
— Erika Y. Grodecki, Skope Magazine
