Le Jazz Hot (The Quartet of the Hot Club of San Francisco) at Jazz At Filoli at Filoli

About

French chanteuse and rhythm guitarist Isabelle Fontaine adds an Edith Piaf touch to their violin, bass and guitar renditions, paying homage to Stephane Grappelli, Django Reihhardt and the always–infectious gypsy jazz. Founder and leader of the group Paul Mehling says, “We’re trying to challenge the tendency to slavishly imitate Django’s style, without watering down the gypsy tradition or diluting the music.” Emceeing this concert will be our old friend Bud Spangler, Co–founder and former Producer of Jazz at Filoli.
