WoodSongs: Hot Club of San Fransisco/ Andy Young/ Grant Flick
HOT CLUB OF SAN FRANCISCO is America’s longest-lasting and most daring gypsy jazz ensemble. This ensemble of accomplished and versatile musicians celebrates the music of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli’s pioneering Quintette du Hot Club de France with style and panache. The HCSF borrows the instrumentation of violin, bass, and guitars from the original Hot Club while breathing new life into the music with innovative arrangements of classic tunes and original compositions from the group’s superb lead guitarist, Paul Mehling. Featuring the amazing violin of twice Grammy Award-winning Evan Price, the velvet vocals of Isabelle Fontaine and a swinging rhythm section, the group never fails to surprise and delight.
ANDY YOUNG is a Chicago-based musician, sought after at music festivals nationwide, performing Gypsy Jazz & Irish Traditional Music on Hammered Dulcimer.
GRANT FLICK is only 17 but is already making waves in the acoustic music world. This fiddler from Bowling Green, Ohio has been the recipient of numerous musical awards including the Daniel Pearl Memorial Violin in 2013. He was also selected as a participant for the 2015 Savannah Acoustic Music Seminar. Watch him perform with guitar master Frank Vignola.
