Led by master guitarist Paul Mehling, the world-renowned Hot Club of San Francisco’s Le Jazz Hot quartet kicks off the party with the thrilling gypsy jazz sound made famous by guitar pioneer Django Reinhardt. Bay Area favorites Lavay Smith and Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers celebrate the music of Kansas City with a program interpreting the bawdy and uproarious blues of vocalists like Big Joe Turner and Jimmy Rushing as well as the big band swing of Count Basie.
