Le Jazz Hot at Napa Valley Playhouse - One Night Only!January 18th, 2014 at 8pm
Le Jazz Hot is the quartet of the Hot Club of San
Francisco, continuing the tradition of fine French Gypsy Jazz performed on string instruments.
Le Jazz Hot is an ensemble of accomplished and versatile musicians celebrating the music of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli’s pioneering Hot Club de France. The ensemble borrows the all-string instrumentation of violin, bass and
guitars from the original Hot Club, but breathes new life into the music with innovative arrangements of classic tunes and original compositions from the group's superb lead guitarist Paul Mehling. Hearing the ensemble live, carries the listener back to the 1930's and to the small, smoky jazz clubs of Paris or the refined lounges of the famous Hotel Ritz. Often called gypsy jazz, the music of Le Jazz Hot has entranced audiences around the globe for over 22 years. Critics have hailed the group's playing as "intricate, scorching
and often brilliant…" Acoustic Guitar. From festivals in Mexico and France
to concert halls across North America, The Hot Club of San Francisco keeps this
historic music fresh and alive.
