Philly Hot Club

[Affa Dalaah]

Philadelphia can claim another Hot Swing act besides the great Joe Venuti.
Saw the Hot Club of Philadelphia last night at the World Cafe, and their show was a killer!
The warmed up for John Jorgenson, but could have easily passed for the headliners.
Picked up there latest CD: "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams", which puts them right up there.
There is a good article on them and the Django Centenial at:

Hi,

Here's another working link:

Best,

A fine gig indeed! It's especially nice when they bring in singers - it's easy to forget that Django and his contemporaries frequently acted as backup for vocalists.

And Jorgenson is just beyond amazing - jeez.

Anyway - Barry and the HCP will be at The Mermaid Friday April 9 with a jam the following Wednesday, April 14. (And Kruno Spisic will be playing WCL Upstairs on April 3.)
