Gypsy jazz, which promotes the swinging sounds made popular by guitarist Jean "Django" Reinhardt in 1930s Paris, carries a welcoming aura in each twang and pick of a guitar. Fans are drawn in by its lively rhythm, and Mehling and the crew take the next step in treating each audience member as a friend that they haven't yet met. "While audiences may or may not be familiar with us, or our genre of music, we hope to establish an interplay and connection with them that they won't find anywhere else, and which will stay with them."

The five members of Hot Club take being San Franciscans-and the area's influences and long list of contributions to the evolution of jazz-very seriously. These ties are evident while listening to their new song, where nods are given to local insider jokes like "vegan/pagan hipsters" and "high-tech chief execs" grooving together at everyone's favorite urban getaways.

Paul Mehling says he and the rest of Hot Club feel a huge sense of indebtedness to the people in the Bay Area jazz scene that they've learned from, been inspired by, and have been a part of for more than 27 years. "We are extremely proud to not only be a part of this artistic tapestry, but we see our role in preserving and pushing it forward as an integral part of our purpose."
