9 O'Clock Jazz Special for 7/13

gypsy guitaristOne of the most delightful and spirited sounds in jazz is the Hot Club band.  When Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli got together in Paris in 1934 they began a gypsy guitar and violin swingin' sound that is still loved today.  Tonight we'll travel with Blaise Lantana from Prescott to Paris for some smokin' Hot Club jazz on the 9 O'clock Special. 

There are Arizona gypsy jazz bands, like the Hot Club of Prescott, and the Hot Club of Phoenix, as well as some exciting international groups like Les Doigts Del Homme from Paris who keep alive the swingin' tradition of gypsy jazz from the Hot Club of Paris.  Hear some of these bands and some variations on the gypsy sound as part of bebop tonight when Blaise goes gypsy on the 9 O'clock special.
