The Hot Club of San Francisco presents "Cool Yule"

Take a swinging gypsy wagon trip to the North Pole with the Hot Club of San Francisco! Featuring many of your favorites and some rarer seasonal gems, this dazzling holiday offering has something for everyone. Often called gypsy jazz, the music of the Hot Club of San Francisco has entranced audiences around the globe for more than 20 years. This ensemble of accomplished and versatile musicians celebrates the music of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli?s pioneering Hot Club de France with style and panache. To hear the ensemble live is to be carried back to the 1930s and the small, smoky jazz clubs of Paris and the refined lounges of the famous Hotel Ritz. The HCSF borrows the instrumentation of violin, bass, and guitars from the original Hot Club while breathing new life into the music with innovative arrangements of classic tunes and original compositions from the group's superb lead guitarist, Paul Mehling. The group features the amazing violin of two-time Grammy Award?winning Evan Price and a swinging rhythm section.
