The Music
The music played is broadly that of the famous Hot Club of France of the 1930s and 40s (the “gypsy jazz” repertoire) combined with jazz standards, swing, bebop and Brazilian music.
We are not sticklers on recreating the traditional Hot Club sound but usually keep to the swing or early bebop eras of jazz. We also frequently throw in a dollop of the blues for good measure
