Le Jazz Hot at The Woodchopper’s Ball
November 22, 2022 @ 9:00 pm - 11:30 pm
Le Jazz Hot
Led by Paul Mehling, the “Godfather of Gypsy Jazz in the USA”, and inspired by the music of the great Django Reinhardt and his famous Quintet of the Hot Club of France, Le Jazz Hot (a.k.a. The Hot Club of San Francisco) will transport you back in time to the hot, mysterious, and romantic swing music of 1920s Paris. Voulez-vous danser?
WOODCHOPPER’S BALL:
The Woodchopper’s Ball, San Francisco’s swing hot spot, is a weekly Tuesday night swing dance event held at the historic Verdi Club in San Francisco’s Mission district. Named after the classic 1939 swing tune by the Woody Herman Orchestra (and their biggest hit!), it features monthly classes, a full bar (21+ only), and a dance party with a drop-in lesson and the largest variety of live swing dance music in town!
