The HOT CLUB is a collective of virtuosic and fun musicians from all over the world. With our wide musical repertoire, we will transport you from the smoky Parisian ballrooms of the 1930s swing era to New Orleans, Spain, and old New York.
Hot Club specifically refers to a style of jazz created by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, who famously started an all-string jazz quintet in 1930s Paris playing the music of Louis Armstrong and jazz greats of the 1920s and 30s. This unique style commonly later became know as gypsy jazz or hot club jazz.
We specialize in this style of jazz but often play in any configuration with instruments such as Saxophone, trumpet, accordion, Clarinet, Violin, and more.
We play a diverse catalog of vintage, Latin, gyspy, and vocal jazz; our hot club will surely liven up your night with a timeless interpretation of jazz standards and more.
