Led by multi-instrumentalist Chris Devine (http://www.chrisdevine.com) on violin, the Hot Club of Paradise swings like crazy in the gypsy jazz tradition created by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli in the 1930's. It's refined, it's gritty, it's intellectual, it's physical, it's elegant but never pretentious....above all it's a music of pure joy in the moment.
