Hot Club Of Philadelphia brings the spirit of 1930s Paris to the stage with Gypsy Jazz that’s both rooted in tradition and alive with Americana influences. Founded in 2001 by guitarist Barry Wahrhaftig, the group is known for its versatile lineups—from intimate trios to full quintets—and a roster of guest collaborators that keeps each performance fresh. The band’s sound captures the improvisational swing, sparkling guitar work, and lush violin moods that fans of classic gypsy jazz crave, while inviting listeners into a modern, accessible experience.
