Gaucho, a gypsy jazz sextet, was formed in 2002. The lineup consists of Dave Ricketts & Michael Groh on guitars, Ari Munkres on standup bass, Rob Reich on accordion, Ralph Carney on horns and Pete Devine on drums & percussion. On occasion, guest artists bring their own spice to the mix. While we base much of our repertoire in the music of Django Reinhardt and the gypsy jazz of 1930s Europe, we also find inspiration in the rhythmic drive and collective improvisation of New Orleans swing music and the "gut bucket" sound.

However, this has not prevented him from composing rich & personal songs. His discography is also illustrated by a desire not to stay stuck in a style or theme, but to try to move forward, whether by choice of musicians, or instruments. He also varies band formations, the duo to sextet: examples of the group Django Vision and the Roman Acoustic Quartet.
