Crowden's 2011-12 Sundays @ Four series gets down to the basics of great chamber music-outstanding collaborative artists and rich programming in an intimate setting. On October 30, the Hot Club of San Francisco will transport audiences back in time with their battle-cry, "swing or die."
Free "Meet-the-Artists" reception following the performance.
About Hot Club of San Francisco:
The Hot Club of San Francisco is an ensemble of accomplished and versatile musicians celebrating the music of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli's pioneering Hot Club de France. The ensemble borrows the all-string instrumentation of violin, bass, and guitars from the original Hot Club, but breathes new life into the music with innovative arrangements of classic tunes and original compositions from the group's superb lead guitarist Paul Mehling. Hearing the ensemble live, or on any of their 10 albums, carries the listener back to the 1930s and to the small, smoky jazz clubs of Paris or the refined lounges of the famous Hotel Ritz. Often called gypsy jazz, the music of The Hot Club of San Francisco has entranced audiences around the globe for over 15 years as HCSF keeps this historic music fresh and alive.
