The Hot Club of Los Angeles plays gypsy jazz, the style of music pioneered by the Belgian guitar virtuoso and composer Django Reinhardt (1910-1953.) The group's seven members (Carl Byron, piano/accordion/vocals; Jim Doyle, drums; Frank San Filippo, upright bass; Peter Kavanaugh, guitar; Bob Ricketts, guitar; Jeff Ross, guitar; Cliff Wagner, violin) are all acclaimed southern California-based musicians with backgrounds in jazz, blues, country, rockabilly, pop, rock, folk and world music.
Recording and performing as the Hot Club of Los Angeles, these multi-faceted players draw inspiration from Django's group, the Quintette du Hot Club de France and the array of other great gypsy jazz musicians who laid the groundwork for this infectious musical genre. Spanning the spectrum of gypsy jazz styles, Django's Tiger include several of Reinhardt's own pioneering compositions--including the classic "Minor Swing"--along with newer classics by contemporary gypsy jazz masters such as "Tchavolo Swing."
