El Cid’s Hot Holiday Tuesday Jazz Series Features Hot Club of LA
El Cid continues its Tuesday Jazz Series this
holiday season with Hot Club of Los
Angeles performing gypsy jazz, a style of music pioneered by the Belgian
guitar virtuoso and composer Django Reinhardt (1910-1953), on November 26,
December 3, 10, and 17.
The seven members of the Hot Club of Los Angeles are all esteemed southern California-based
musicians with backgrounds as sidemen and band leaders in a wide array of
musical styles, including jazz, blues, country, rockabilly, jump blues, pop,
rock, folk and various forms of world music. When these players come together
to perform as the Hot Club of Los Angeles,
they 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 that
continues to captivate audiences today. Members include Jim Doyle, Carl Byron, Cliff
Wagner, Jeff Ross, Peter Kavanaugh, Bob Ricketts, and Frank San Filippo.
