Following up It’s About That Time, Night Town and the eponymous 2006 debut Hot Club of Detroit – Hot Club of Detroit expands its sonic and compositional horizons with Junction. Retaining its original lineup of reeds, two guitars, accordion, upright bass and no drums, this is the band’s fourth release for Mack Avenue Records. There are personnel changes, however, and for the first time, the Hot Club of Detroit is joined (on three tracks) by a vocalist: French musician Cyrille Aimée, a native of Django Reinhardt’s hometown and third-place winner of the 2010 Thelonious Monk International Vocal Competition.

Mack Avenue recording artist Hot Club of Detroit presents their seventh annual Detroit Django Reinhardt Festival, Friday, March 19th through Sunday March 21st. Featuring special guests, guitarist Howard Alden and clarinetist/saxophonist Anat Cohen, Hot Club of Detroit is proud to bring this festival in celebration of Reinhardt’s centennial to Detroit and Cleveland; two cities that Reinhardt himself performed in during his one and only American tour.

By honoring the spirit of Reinhardt’s music and combining it with modern jazz, Hot Club of Detroit has become an international sensation, along with the Reinhardt resurgence. “Django Reinhardt is the showerhead from which we all come down,” says guitarist and Hot Club of Detroit bandleader Evan Perri.
