Saturday Music Post - Hot Clubs

The Quintette du Hot Club de France was founded in 1934 by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, remaining active as the house band into the late 1940s. Although the Hot Club was the venue, not the ensemble, many jazz groups -- usually featuring guitar and violin, but sometimes with other instruments and even vocalists -- have taken the name Hot Club over the ensuing 90 years.  Today's post is a sampling, with some emphasis on the Hot Club of Cowtown, which uncharacteristically adds western swing, just because I like them.

The clips are at The Faculty Lounge.
