Here are the details:

Experience the sexy, infectious rhythms of “Gypsy” and world beat jazz with this five-time Detroit Music Award winning group – and live swing dancers! The swinging sound originated in the nightclubs of Paris but now the music pulses in clubs from Tokyo to San Francisco to Madrid. Allmusic.com calls Hot Club’s work “breathless and heady” and says, “Through mood changes, tempo shifts, dynamic ranges, and advanced harmonic palette, the Hot Club of Detroit never lets up.”

While the Hot Club of Detroit has been influenced by the gypsy jazz of the Quintet of the Hot Club of France with Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, this quintet is different in its makeup, with guitarist Evan Perri, accordionist Julien Labro, multi-reed player Carl Cafagna, rhythm guitarist Paul Brady, and bassist Andrew Kratzat.

Touring behind their new disk, “It’s About That Time”, Hot Club of Detroit has thrown their musical doors wide open, fusing gypsy, world beat, and jazz rhythms into a “can’t-sit-still” performance.

See why Jazz & Blues Report says, “this band sizzles with originality, enthusiasm, and consummate musicianship.”

Guest vocalist Cyrille Aimée has consistently proven herself to be an unstoppable, undeniable talent in the modern age of jazz. Her culturally rich background has supplied her with the driving force of Dominican rhythm and the incredible swing of the French Gypsies. Cyrille Aimée was a finalist in the prestigious Thelonious Monk Vocal Competition of 2010, performing in front of a jury of Al Jarreau, Kurt Elling, Dianne Reeves, Patti Austin, Dee Dee Bridgewater and Gladys Knight. In 2007, Cyrille won both the first and public prize in the Montreux Jazz Festival Competition.
