About the Event
The Hot Club celebrates those hot gypsy swing numbers made famous by Django Reinhardt, together with French and Italian romanticism and American jazz luminaries like Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet, and Duke Ellington.
For this special show you’ll hear clarinet, tenor saxophone and trumpet alongside two-guitars and double bass. This is the line-up preferred by the likes of Madonna, Rowan Atkinson, and many more. Yes that’s right… Mr. Bean is a fan!
