Hot Club De Norvège is a Norwegian string jazz ensemble, founded in 1979, that has become an internationally recognized torchbearer of Gypsy Jazz, a genre largely attributed to the pioneering work of guitarist Django Reinhardt. Over the decades, this dynamic group has been devoted to honoring and revitalizing the hallmark sounds of Hot Club-style music, while also infusing it with a distinctively Scandinavian touch. The ensemble's lineup has seen various talented musicians contribute to its evolving sound, but its core remains steadfast in the pursuit of jazz manouche brilliance.
With a prolific recording history, Hot Club De Norvège has a discography rich in both homages to historic jazz figures and original compositions. Releases such as "Moment's Notice" and "Stardust" reflect their capacity to revisit and refresh classic tunes, while albums like "Once Upon a Time in the 90s" and "Caution Hot" embody the band's creative vitality through the decades. "The Best of Hot Club De Norvège" serves as a testament to their enduring appeal, offering listeners a curated experience of their finest work. With a fusion of fiery guitar work, virtuosic violin, and the resonant warmth of double bass, Hot Club De Norvège continues to enrapture audiences, bridging the gap between the golden era of 1930s jazz and the contemporary music scene.
