Rick Rangno & Friends delivered a sensational performance at uOttawa's Wine and Cheese night! From classics to inventive renditions, they curated a setlist that perfectly matched the atmosphere we had envisioned and played phenomenally all night long! The hiring process was quick and easy, and the band was very accommodating of our requests which was greatly appreciated. Thank you for making our event a memorable experience for everyone in attendance. Five stars without a doubt!
Rick Rangno is a consummate musician. Much more than “just” a trumpet and flugelhorn player, Rick speaks through his horn(s) in a manner that really connects with his audiences and his fellow musicians. Rick creates beautiful melodies when he improvises. In sum, it is such a joy to listen to Rick make music!
If I want to hear great music in Ottawa, I always check to see where Rick Rangno is playing. When I heard Rick’s amazing band at a wedding, I hired him for a launch party and the music elevated it to a world class event. He is a fantastic trumpet player and flugelhorn player. He can play anything from an up tempo swing piece to a soft and sensitive ballad. His band is comprised of some of the finest musicians in the city. I have also heard many of his superlative musical arrangements. I would recommend Rick Rangno’s band with much enthusiasm and without hesitation!
