ASU Fowler Center Series presents Hot Club of Detroit
The Gypsy jazz sound made famous by Django Reinhardt has never been more passionate, fresh or hot than Hot Club of Detroit, who are joined by the equally sizzling vocal stylings of Cyrille Aimée!
Unlike the instrumentation of the original Paris-based quintet, comprising Reinhardt, violinist Stephanie Grappelli, two rhythm guitarists and a bassist, the current Hot Club of Detroit is made of guitarist Evan Perri, accordianist Julien Labro, soprano and tenor saxophonist Carl Cafagna, rhythm guitarist Paul Brady and bassist Andrew Kratzat. The fiborous accordian tones of Labro, a native of Marseilles, France, links the Detroit quintet to the French musette style from which gypsy jazz partially sprung, while Cafagna's robust saxophone work introduces bop and pop-bop elements to qypsy jazz.
