Philly Hot Club

Affa Dalaah

Philadelphia can claim another Hot Swing act besides the great Joe Venuti.
Saw the Hot Club of Philadelphia last night at the World Cafe, and their show was a killer!
The warmed up for John Jorgenson, but could have easily passed for the headliners.
Picked up there latest CD: "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams", which puts them right up there.
There is a good article on them and the Django Centenial at:

Hi,

Here's another working link:

A fine gig indeed! It's especially nice when they bring in singers - it's easy to forget that Django and his contemporaries frequently acted as backup for vocalists.

And Jorgenson is just beyond amazing - jeez.

Anyway - Barry and the HCP will be at The Mermaid Friday April 9 with a jam the following Wednesday, April 14. (And Kruno Spisic will be playing WCL Upstairs on April 3.)
