Come celebrate "liberté, égalité, fraternité" with a cabaret concert with Le Jazz Hot of the San Francisco Hot Club—one of the Bay Area’s most beloved ensembles featuring band leader Paul Mehling (solo guitar) with David Chiorini (string bass), Isabelle Fontaine (rhythm guitar and vocal), and Evan Price (violin). Le Jazz Hot continues the tradition of French Gypsy Jazz created by the great guitarist Jean "Django" Reinhardt, who was of Romani heritage and started Paris’s world famous Hot Club de France in the 1920’s. Dress up or down, but be ready to dance (even in your seat) because this exuberant music has an infectious beat. We’ll also have some wonderful French wines and cuisine! Vive la France!
