For more than six years the Seattle based ensemble Hot Club Sandwich has captured the spirit of hot jazz bands from the early 20th Century with particular reverence for the work of Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grappelli's Quintet of the Hot Club of France. With Green Room, their third release and first on Modern Hot Records, Hot Club Sandwich expands beyond the typical Gypsy jazz repertoire to include original compositions, Choro melodies, Venezuelan Joropo rhythms, and tunes from Raymond Scott and Slim and Slam. With adventurous improvisation wrapped inside a driving rhythmic pulse and lighthearted sense of humor, Green Room is certainly the finest work from the group yet.
