The Ameranouche trio features virtuoso guitarist Richard Sheppard, rhythm guitarist Ryan Flaherty, and upright bassist Xar Adelberg. The rip-roaring, fast-fingered, U.S. based ensemble plays acoustic hot jazz and gypsy folk, both original compositions and unique arrangements by American and Gypsy songwriters. Though thier music is not always easy to define, it is often reffered to as Gypsy Jazz, the unique genre created by the great gypsy guitarist and composer Django Reinhardt. It is a melding of American jazz, Gypsy song formats, and a fire that comes from Jazz, Folk, Classical and popular music. The music is universal and reaches diverse audiences worldwide. Ameranouche has 3 featured songs in National Lampoons movie soundtrack Beach Party at the Threshold of Hell which was released in theaters nationwide on October 19th, 2007. Kevin Wheatley, director and starring actor of the movie, refers to Ameranouche and the movie soundtrack as the “New sounds of America.”
