For more than six years, Hot Club Sandwich has captured the spirit of the hot jazz string bands of the early 20th century, drawing on their collective creative wellspring to fashion exciting arrangements and deliver adventurous improvisation. With three guitars, bass, violin and mandolin, the acoustic sextet maintains a reverence for the Gypsy jazz of Django Reinhardt, Stephane Grappelli and their Quintette du Hot Club de France.
The members of Hot Club Sandwich share diverse musical interests and regularly study with master musicians around the world and across the United States. Their uplifting, high-energy performances prompted the Seattle Weekly to describe Hot Club Sandwich as “Six of Western Washington’s hottest young string players.”
