Django Would Go

Album Notes

The Hot Club of Hulaville, Hawai`i' premier Gypsy Jazz band, has recorded its first studio album entitled Django Would Go. This album features their most popular and well-seasoned selections from two years of performing in Hawaii's most prestigious venues to sell-out audiences, along with original content.

Hot Club music has direct origins from the gypsy virtuosos who played the Parisian dance halls, bistros, and cafés of the 30's and 40's. These musicians took American Dixieland Jazz and Swing, blended it with European Tangos and the dance hall Musettes of the day, creating a formidable musical concoction that became the World Music of its time. Just about every top-flight band in America rewrote and rearranged large sections of their repertoire to accommodate this hot new style.

The album has great guest artists in Paul Mehling from the Hot Club of San Francisco, and Gonzalo Bergara from The Gonzalo Bergara Quartet. So hot guitars, bandoneon and great violin will greet you and take you around the world.
