Swingin Stampede

This acoustic trio (violinist Elana Fremerman, guitarist Whit Smith and stand-up bass player Billy Horton) places itself somewhere in the area between Django Reinhardt and Bob Wills, but within a totally modern sensibility and audience. The Hot Club has already developed a following in California, Colorado, Florida and other markets and their self-titled debut is a spirited, high energy contribution to the burgeoning swing revival.
