Artist

Ralph Gari

Origin: U.S.A
Listen on Coda
Though highly productive on his instrument, Gari functioned chiefly as an instrumental-pop performer rather than a jazz improviser. He appeared with Eddie Rogers throughout the mid-1940s and then joined Frankie Carle in 1949. After relocating from New York to Las Vegas in 1950, he performed in both concert and jazz ensembles. In 1954 he assembled his own quartet and performed regularly at El Rancho Vegas.
