Gaucho's Deep Night 'scores high marks' with critics
"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
