Tous les mardis de 20h à 23h, Chez Georges accueille le collectif Alex Swing Events qui propose une programmation variée et de qualité, suivant un répertoire de swing / jazz manouche, la musique de Django Reinhardt et Stéphane Grappelli, la musique des Balkans, voire plus...Chez Georges, c'est un bar à vin très sympathique de la rue des canettes, avec au sous-sol une magnifique cave voûtée, transformée le mardi en cave de jazz acoustique.Un esprit, une esthétique, un son… Autour de Duved Dunayevsky et Daniel Garlitsky, voilà ce que s’emploie à faire revivre le nouveau Quintette du Hot Club de France, en prolongation de l’héritage créatif de ses augustes fondateurs Django Reinhardt et Stéphane Grappelli.Ce nouveau Quintette du Hot Club de France ne se veut pas seulement comme un hommage ou un cover band. La formation propose une approche personnelle d’un patrimoine qui mêle exigence et respect de la musique classique au tempérament résolument « Hot ». Un savant cocktail qui fit toute l’originalité du geste esthétique originel de Reinhardt et Grappelli en 1934. Par « Hot », entendez : swing ardent, engagement et exaltation. Autrement dit : une certaine propension à faire remuer les corps et galvaniser les esprits, tout en délivrant une remarquable précision d’exécution.C’est avec cette philosophie que ce nouveau Quintette du Hot Club de France proposera des classiques incontournables de Reinhardt et Grappelli ainsi qu’une sélection de compositions originales, de standards des années 1910 à 1940 jamais enregistrés par leurs aînés, sans oublier quelques adaptations swing d’œuvres du répertoire classique.Écouter le nouveau Quintette du Hot Club de France en concert, grâce à sa connaissance experte du répertoire des années 1920/1930, offre dès lors aux auditeurs une véritable expérience artistique et historique.
