About this Event
Step into the vibrant atmosphere of 1930's Paris with Upstate New York’s premier gypsy swing ensemble, Hot Club of Saratoga! Specializing in the timeless sounds of Django Reinhardt, this dynamic group blends virtuosic musicianship, intricate rhythms, and heartfelt passion to create an unforgettable evening of music. Their music brings the magic of hot swing to life.
Meet the Artists:
- Chuck Kish (Rhythm Guitar): Chuck brings the signature “la pompe” rhythm style to life, providing both chordal backup and percussive drive. Self-taught and a dabbling luthier, Chuck even plays a guitar he built himself!
- Dylan Perrillo (String Bass): A conservatory-trained bassist, Dylan has toured with legends like Stéphane Wrembel and Aurore Voilqué, holding the ensemble together with his inventive and versatile playing.
- Tucker James (Violin): A sought-after violinist and fiddler with a degree in Violin Performance, Tucker transitions seamlessly between jazz, classical, and folk styles, giving his all to every performance.
- Jonathan Greene (Woodwinds): With lyrical phrasing and a mastery of multiple styles, Jonathan has shared stages with the likes of Jay Leno and Marcus Roberts, headlined DjangoFest NW, and performed at Freihofer's Saratoga Jazz Festival.
- Brad Brose (Lead Guitar): After years performing in legendary jazz manouche clubs across Europe alongside artists like Tchavolo Schmitt and Stochelo Rosenberg, Brad brings his authentic Parisian swing to the stage whenever possible.
This ensemble’s collective experience and talent shine through in every note, whether you’re an avid fan of gypsy jazz or experiencing this timeless genre for the first time. Don’t miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in the lively and elegant world of Hot Club of Saratoga.
