9:15 pm - Midnight
These guys are AMAZING! Usually playing for other Django officionatos in concert theaters and jazz festivals, not much dancing and much more listening is happening. Now as Wednesday Night Hop unites this "Hot Club" sound with a beautifully sprung hardwood floor, come dance the night away to these lovely tunes. Plus the band is releasing a new Christmas CD.
The Hot Club of San Francisco plays gypsy jazz music inspired by Django Reinhardt. They are dedicated to preserving and educating the masses about Django and his music. On their website, they say that "once you hear it, you can't forget it. It is sophisticated, yet it has a sentimental quality. It is delicate, but the rhythms are played at breakneck speed. It has a swinging, jazzy feel but many of the songs are waltzes."
