Hot Club of Cowtown

"This trio's stylistic genesis-as well as title-stems from the realization that the great heritage of strings (guitars and violins) originates mutually with the Manouche gypsies of France and the no-less virtuosic hillbilly pickers and fiddlers of Oklahoma and Texas...Together for over 15 years and a dozen albums, the threesome of high-heeled violinist Elana James, guitarist Whit Smith and bassist Jake Erwin showed from the beginning that jazz and country music could exist together on the same page, a highly commendable achievement if ever there was one," raves the WALL STREET JOURNAL. James's inventive violin style can still conjure up the unique image of Bob Wills strolling through Tin Pan Alley," says JAZZ TIMES. The hot jazz is what Hot Club do best, and this is a staggering return to form for the band I once said I could listen to forever. That still stands," states COUNTRY MUSIC PEOPLE.
