Thursday, June 7, 2018 at 7:30 PM to 10:00 PM
Miner Auditorium
San Francisco, CA
The world-renowned San Francisco institution of Gypsy
jazz and a new trio featuring Mimi Fox, Mads Tolling, and Jeff Denson
re-imagine classic hits of The Beatles.
The two best Bay Area string bands share a bill devoted
to the timeless music of the Fab Four. Led by guitar master Paul Mehling, the
Hot Club of San Francisco is the country’s longest running ensemble devoted to
the Gypsy jazz tradition pioneered by Django Reinhardt. Mehling was first
inspired to pick up a guitar when the Beatles launched the British Invasion on
the Ed Sullivan’s show in 1964, so it was only a matter of time before he
focused his creative mojo on Lennon and McCartney’s vast and enduring treasure
trove of songs. HCSF recently released John, Paul, George and Django, a
revelatory reimagining of classic Beatles tunes.
Cost: $25 - $55
