 Hot Club of Detroit at ASU Fowler Center March 15 at 7:30 p.m. The Hot Club of Detroit is appearing at the ASU Fowler Center on March 15 at 7:30 p.m. The Gypsy jazz sound made famous by Django Reinhardt has never been more passionate, fresh or hot than with 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 Stephane Grappelli, two rhythm guitarists and a bassist, the current Hot Club of Detroit is made of guitarist Evan Perri, accordionist Julien Labro, soprano and tenor saxophonist Carl Cafagna, rhythm guitarist Paul Brady and bassist Andrew Kratzat. The fibrous accordion 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 post-bop elements to gypsy jazz.
