Join us for a night of great music with The Hot Club of Philadelphia and Curt Lippe!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.
The show will feature Chris Pistorino – bass, Barry Wahrhaftig & Zack Devine – guitar & vocals, & Joe Arnold on violin. They’ll be playing songs from their current CD ‘Gypsy – Americana,’ along with songs by Nat ‘King’ Cole, The Beatles, Hendrix & John Prine.
