The Red Rock Hot Club is a Gypsy Jazz Style Guitar group featuring the music of Django Reinhardt. If you’ve never heard Gypsy Jazz you’re in for a treat; it can range from sweet n’ lowdown ballads to high-energy, fast paced jazz swing.

The group has been together for ten years, and combined you are getting over 75 years of training and experience.

This music can often be heard in motion picture soundtracks, or TV commercials, and it’s extremely infectious to the listener. Recently, it was featured in the animated film “The Triplets of Belleville”, Woody Allen film “Sweet and Lowdown”, and “Chocolat” Starring Johnny Depp who actually plays the Reinhardt/Grappelli composition “Minor Swing” on guitar.
