Hot Club of Buffalo

DEAN GIONIS, guitar. KEVIN O’BRIEN, upright bass. EJ KOEPPEL, violin. JOSH ASSAD, guitar & vocals.

The Hot Club of Buffalo is a 4-piece gypsy jazz band from Buffalo, NY. The group adds some modern twists to traditional gypsy swing. Riffs from Bach, Jimi Hendrix and Steely Dan are as common as quotes from gypsy legend Django Reinhardt. And dance-friendly world music, like Bossa Nova, Choro and Rhumba are a part of every show. So is improvisation. You never know what’s going to happen next.
