Hot Club of Philadelphia
Friday, January 17, 2025, 7:30 pm
The Hot Club of Philadelphia was started in 2001 by guitarist Barry Wahrhaftig, [War-hof-tig]. They are an acoustic ensemble, dedicated to playing ‘Gypsy Jazz’. That’s the term used to describe the music pioneered by the legendary original ‘Hot Club of France Quintet,’ which was led by guitarist Django Reinhardt and Violinist Stephane Grappelli. HCPhilly mixes this original style, along with their own modern influences. With their impeccable musicianship and infectious energy, they deliver a performance that is both nostalgic and exciting.
