David Williams and Deco Django bring the Hot Club sounds of 1930s Paris to Louisville. They play Gypsy Jazz, the contemporary name for a musical form that started in the 1930s when American swing moved to Europe. The gypsy guitarist, Django Reinhardt, and the violinist Stephane Grappelli, began playing American style swing together, borrowing from the guitar-violin work of Joe Venuit and Eddie Lang, doing standards from the era, but soon they invented a whole new hot style that swung really hard and was totally inventive, infectious, driving, and moving. This became known as the Hot Club sound. Deco Django is David Williams and Emily Reynolds on guitars and vocals, Bill Pontarelli on clarinet, Duane Webster on bass, and new member, Jordan Ramsey on smokin' mandolin.
