Le Jazz Hot  |  Music of Parisian Cafes in the 30's

The acclaimed Hot Club of San Francisco will create a charming concert invoking an unforgettable Parisian experience.

Love songs and driving gypsy jazz are a combination made famous during the 20’s and 30’s in Paris by the legendary Hot Club de France, Django Reinhardt, and Stephane Grappelli. Following the First World War, the city became a gathering place for artists from around the world and The Hot Club’s unique sound of gypsy jazz reflects this inter-wartime collection of cultures. Keep time with the strum of the rhythm guitars and let the magical guitar and fiddle solos take you on a ride down the Seine and through the heart of the city. .

Party & Picnic with Paradigm Brass Quartet

Come picnic on the lawn with us and enjoy the rocking sounds of Paradigm Brass! Paradigm Brass began playing classical music on the streets and in sub-way stations in San Francisco in 2002.

This unique musical cocktail not only better represents the player's own music backgrounds but reaches a broader audience as well.

With a stellar lineup of high caliber and very versatile musicians Paradigm brings its unique and varied show along with its unparalleled language of rousing grooves to each and every performance creating new paths of emotional connectivity with their culture by transcending the barriers between performer and listener and breaking down the walls created by labels.
