With a passion for gypsy jazz (also known as jazz manouche or hot club jazz), Mississippi Hot Club showcases the distinct style of music pioneered by maestro guitarist and Romani composer Django Reinhardt from the 1930s to the 1950s in Paris, France. Staying true to the original Django sound, the band shares lively improvisation featuring solo guitar, violin, upright bass, and la pompe rhythm guitar.MHC also expands the scope of gypsy jazz with a healthy spread of modern twists. During a live set, you can expect them to play romantic ballads, American jazz standards, European folk, and science fiction theme songs. This troupe is sure to get you swinging with their virtuosic style and expert arrangements.
Their latest album, Swing Cities, tips its hat to the Twin Cities swing dance scene, and to the cities around the world who keep the traditions swing alive and vibrant as ever.
“Over the past five years, this quartet has become one of the Midwest’s preeminent string bands. Originally an homage to French gypsy jazz, the quartet's music has begun to take on a more eclectic, adventurous persona as other influences have crept into the palette.” - Twin Cities Jazz Fest
