Hot Club of San Francisco “Original Gadjo” Album Release Show
June 8 @ 6:30 PM PDT
The Hot Club of San Francisco has never shied away from putting their own stamp on the Gypsy jazz sound created by Manouche guitar legend Django Reinhardt and French violin maestro Stephane Grappelli in 1930s Paris. Guitarist Paul “Pazzo” Mehling, a leading force in North America’s Hot Club movement since its inception in the early 1990s, has long made a point of featuring original tunes along with Reinhardt standards and imaginative Djangofied interpretations of songs by the likes of Lennon and McCartney. But the HCSF’s 15th album, Original Gadjo, captures the creative ferment of the whole group, not just its fearless leader. Released in late 2024, it’s a project that finds the venerable combo revivified after a pandemic-induced hiatus, hitting on all creative cylinders.
