Hot Club of Los Angeles is proud to present Nova, the third release from the celebrated “nuevo Django” ensemble that’s been hailed by none other than Jackson Browne as “an LA treasure.” HCLA brings excitement, irresistible swing and raw talent to its take on gypsy jazz, a hybrid style pioneered by Belgian guitarist Django Reinhardt (1910-1953) and the Quintette du Hot Club de France in 1930s Paris. On Nova the quintet shares a collection of 15 varied numbers ranging from classic and contemporary gypsy jazz, bossa nova, French chanson and traditional Roma fare to film soundtrack, jazz standards and originals composed by the group’s members. Formed in 2011, the group brought together local established musicians with backgrounds in country, jazz, pop, folk, rock, blues and world music. The current lineup, which includes founding members, drummer Jim Doyle and accordionist/pianist Carl Byron, along with bassist Paul Eckman and acoustic fretmasters Josh Workman and Jake Bluenote, draws on widely varied experience and eclectic taste, yielding a unique and modern approach to the storied “Hot Club” sound.
