Hot Club of San Francisco
Some like it hot.
Legendary gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt first heard recordings of Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong in 1930. Four years later, now swinging like Tarzan, he formed The Quintette du Hot Club de France with virtuosic violinist Stephan Grapelli, brother Joseph, R. Chaput on guitar, and L.Vola on bass.
There was nothing hotter.
The Hot Club of San Francisco is part of Django’s ever-evolving legacy.
To hear the ensemble live, or on any of their albums, is to be carried back to the 1930s and the small, smoky jazz clubs or the refined lounges of the famous Hotel Ritz, all in “Gay Paris.” Often described as “gypsy jazz,” the music of The Hot Club of San Francisco has entranced audiences around the globe for over 20 years.
“Intricate, scorching and often brilliant,” raved Acoustic Guitar.
The group’s latest release, John Paul George & Django, is comprised of all Beatles compositions, played in the traditional gypsy jazz style of the original Hot Club de France.
“As part of Palm Arts’ commitment to our community and to share in the spirit surrounding the holiday season, we are offering a free holiday kick-off concert,” said Nathan Scherich, Palm Arts’ programming and development director. “Hot Club will be playing their Hot Club, Cool Yule program featuring many holiday favorites and rarer seasonal gems. Start your holiday season in style with Palm Arts.”
