Ranger and the "Re-Arrangers" at Winslow Green with Bill Rappaport, Clarinet

Bainbridge band Ranger and the “Re-Arrangers” evoke the spirit of a Paris cafe and the raucous energy of a Romani campsite with their version of Hot Club Swing.   The band’s repertoire includes swing standards, traditional European melodies, the music of Django Reinhardt, and Ranger's unique originals. Special guest Bill Rappaport started the clarinet when he was nine, and has followed a dual path—classical training plus a deep love for jazz. He was a member of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra for 40 years and performed around the country, including at Carnegie Hall. His wonderful tone and vintage solos will make you feel like you’ve traveled to the 1930’s!
