The Hot Club of San Francisco = Live at Yoshi's San Francisco = Starring Isabelle Fontaine, vocals = the Hot Club of San Francisco, in it's 20-year history, has released ten adventurous, critically acclaimed CDs in the passionate gypsy-jazz style that traces it's origins to guitarist Django Reinhardt and his Quintets du Hot Club de France. = This latest CD starring vocalist Isabelle Fontaine puts their gypsy-jazz style in the forefront of interpretations of songs from the Great American Songbook. Sprinkles in between Cole Porter and Victor Young are songs from Miss Fountaine's homeland of France. A fun Live at Yoshi's ride through songs interpreted by these gypsy jazz virtuosos.

Through these newer songs, the Hot Club of Detroit proves their mastery of Reinhardt's music, since they can not only play his songs so well; they know how to translate it to other styles. That adventurousness, combined with their considerable musicality, makes Hot Club of Detroit a first-rate debut album - and after listening to it, it's hard not to want to hear how they go forward on their next album.
