What The Critics Are Saying About “Django Would Go!”

“This inventive and imaginative CD (available from www.hotclubofhulaville.com) is a delight.”

Scott Yanow - Reviewer,  Los Angeles Jazz Scene

I second the Jazz violin scholar Anthony Barnett’s rather tart wish for a moratorium on all “Hot Club” groups and recordings for a few years: most of them are exercises in cheerful excess, with fast tempos and thousands of gleefully-articulated notes spilling out in profusion. But this CD is a glowing exception. I was not necessarily captivated by the extravagant packaging (including a small replica of Django Reinhardt’s passport as well as a simulation of a letter from “Rose,” living in Hawaii in 1946, hoping that Django would visit the island and, more specifically, her): these party favors wouldn’t have won my heart if the music was tepid or uninventive. But I was enthralled by the group’s range, enthusiasm, and precision, in a marriage of QHCF traditions and “world music,” including a luxuriant reading of “Some Enchanted Evening,” with a moving vocal by Ginai. The instrumental selections rock and muse; Ginai sings with fervor and control. The CD has made me decide that perhaps the moratorium (or a sanction?) on such performances should be lifted, if only for this Hot Club.
