Puttin' Detroit back on the map!,
By Cante Luna "cante_jondo" (Lisbon, Portugal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hot Club of Detroit (Audio CD)
Although initially not made curious by the cover or the fact that there's now a "Hot Club" in virtually every major city, still, being originally from Michigan myself, I had to give this cd a try--and was glad I did. This is a solid first recording for the band, which, besides the brilliant guitar of Evan Perri, features a clarinet (reminiscent of Django's later Hot Club sound--but no violin) and button accordion. I enjoyed this recording for its focus on the songs rather than the 27 notes per mili-second pyro-technics offered by some players. That being said, it doesn't lack speed or energy. reviewing music in a genre is always a very subjective endeavor, so I'll conclude by saying, if you like the approach of Pearl Django, you'll definitely like this group. I'm listening to it as a I write this. Really fine! It's been a long time since Detroit's been this hot.

Hot Club of Detroit is hot,
This review is from: Hot Club of Detroit (Audio CD)
When I first heard this album, released in August of 2006, I thought it was Django Reinhardt and the Hot Club of France. But when I heard a clarinet and an accordion, instrumentation I was almost certain Django Renhardt didn't use, I became curious. This album is terrific. Most songs are Django Reinhardt compositions sounding much like the Hot Club of France style of the 30's and 40's but with a more modern style mixed in, including some be-bop like phrasing. I heard a Charlie Parker quote on at least one occasion. These guys are immensely talented and have impeccable chops, playing rapidly with seeming ease. Anyone who enjoys good music will love this album. I recommend it highly.
