Hot Club De Norvege Biography
HOT CLUB DE NORVEGE was established when the acoustic gypsy swing revival swept over Europe in the 70-ies, together with Raphaël Faÿs, the Ferré brothers, Patrick Saussois, Waso, Titi Winterstein and many others. Their starting point was the recordings of QHCF, mingled with gypsy folklore, waltzes and swing jazz. Today they have developed their own sound, and continue the search for a contemporary expression for the gypsy swing. HOT CLUB DE NORVEGE have toured around the whole world, and performed with all the stars of the gypsy swing today.
They have released eleven CD's, and their record company, Hot Club Records, have also produced CDs with several hundreds of the foremost musicians in the history of the gypsy swing, from the pioneers like Baro and Matelo Ferret, Robert Normann and Stéphane Grappelli, to the debut recordings of young guitar stars like Jimmy Rosenberg, Stochelo Rosenberg and Angelo Debarre.
HOT CLUB DE NORVEGE solo guitarist, Jon Larsen, has composed most of their repertoire, and his melodies try to develop the gypsy swing music into our time and age. He has received the composer's unions award (Composer Of The Year) for music written to Jimmy Rosenberg, and his triple suite for a classical string quartet and Hot Club de Norvège was nominated for the Norwegian Grammy.
HOT CLUB DE NORVEGE are touring more than 150 days each year, and this year include recording projects in France, Norway, the Netherlands, Argentina and Japan. Each year they also arrange the Django Reinhardt Festival in Norway, and the next one will be the 20th - in that respect even older than the festival in Samois… HOT CLUB DE NORVEGE: Jon Larsen (guitar), Finn Hauge (harmonica and violin), Per Frydenlund (guitar) and Svein Aarbostad (bass).
