Imagine yourself in the idyllic French countryside in the 1930's. Sometime before

dark, a gypsy caravan sets up camp in a field outside of town, luring the locals

out for an evening’s fun. The wanderers travel with a film projector, pointing it at

the side of a barn. As the images flicker to life beneath the stars, gypsy musicians

play their guitars and fiddles, matching every movement on the screen with

characteristic virtuosity, passion and humor. Reviving this lost entertainment, The

Hot Club of San Francisco presents Cinema Vivant, an evening of vintage silent films

accompanied by live gypsy swing.

Cinema Vivant is a celebration of

imagination and innovation.

Before World War I, European

filmmaker Ladislaw Starewicz

pioneered stop-action animation,

creating a never-before-seen

movie experience. A gifted

storyteller who used the new

medium of animation to

illuminate his fantastic imaginings

of the secret lives of ordinary

objects, Starewicz has become an obscure cult hero. Cinema Vivant features

Starewicz’ The Mascot, an adventure story about lost toys. On the other side of the

Atlantic, American Charley Bowers revolutionized the industry in the 1920’s by

combining animation with live action. There It Is, a recently rediscovered film by

Bowers, is a whimsical comedy about a mysterious occurrence investigated by

Scotland Yard.

The Hot Club of San Francisco is an ensemble of accomplished and versatile

musicians celebrating the music of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli’s

pioneering “Quintette du Hot Club de France.” The ensemble borrows the all-string

instrumentation of violin, bass and guitars from the original Hot Club, but breathes

new life into the music with innovative arrangements of classic tunes and original

compositions from the group’s superb lead guitarist, Paul Mehling.

Film Titles: There It Is, Charley Bowers (1928)

The Mascot, Ladislaw Starewicz (1933)

A Note on Django Reinhardt and Gypsy Jazz

Django Reinhardt is rightly hailed as one of the greatest guitar players who ever

lived, but many people praising his accomplishments as a guitarist tend to overlook

his roots in Gypsy culture and the musically fertile, polyglot Paris of the 1920’s.

Reinhardt and his companions used all these elements, along with American jazz, to

create this new music, but the Gypsy heritage seems to be the most important

ingredient. Once you hear it, you can’t forget it. It is sophisticated yet it has a

sentimental quality. It is delicate but the rhythms are played at breakneck speed. It

has a swinging, jazzy feel but many of the songs are waltzes. It is Gypsy jazz and the

popularity of this sometimes flamboyant, sometimes melancholy guitar music is

growing around the world. Aficionados everywhere are forming bands, called Hot

Clubs in honor of Django Reinhardt’s famous Quintet of the Hot Club of France.

The Hot Club of San Francisco is an ensemble of accomplished and versatile

musicians celebrating the music of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli’s

pioneering Hot Club with style and panache. It features the amazing violin of two-

time Grammy® Award winner Evan Price and a swinging rhythm section. To hear the

ensemble live, or on any of their 11 albums, is to be carried back to the 1930’s and the

small, smoky jazz clubs of Paris and the refined lounges of the famous Hotel Ritz.

Often called Gypsy jazz, the music of The Hot Club of San Francisco has entranced

audiences around the globe for over 20 years. Acoustic Guitar hailed the group’s

playing as “intricate, scorching and often brilliant.” With frequent international and

national tours — from Iceland to Lincoln Center and the Monterey Jazz Festival —

The Hot Club of San Francisco keeps this historic music fresh and alive.

PAUL MEHLING (Dupont MD-50, Modele Selmer Guitar) is the founder of The Hot

Club of San Francisco. He began playing the guitar at the age of six. Early on in

school, Paul studied the bass and by age 16, he began violin lessons and was self-

taught on the mandolin, tenor and plectrum banjos. Influenced by the Beatles and

his mother’s jazz records of Django Reinhardt, Louis Armstrong and Sidney Bechet,

Paul decided to take his passion to the next level, and began studying jazz improv

with trumpeter/educator Ray Brown. With this musical melting pot laying the

foundation, it was only natural that Paul began playing professionally.

Paul’s desire led him throughout the United States and Europe, where he found

himself playing improv on the streets. In his 20’s, he was a member of several bands,

including the Hot Club of Friends, The Magnolia Jazz Band and Jake Stock and the

Abalone Stompers. Paul has since performed and played with swing practitioners

Serge Krief, Dan Hicks and the Acoustic Warriors, Maria Muldaur, John Jorgenson,

Pearl Django, David Grisman, and Howard Alden, Florin Nicolescu, Christophe

Lartilleux, Gonazlo Bergara, Angelo Debarre, Robin Nolan & Bireli Lagrene to name a

few. He has also made several television and radio appearances, most notably with

Jim Cullum Jazz Band on their syndicated radio show, “Riverwalk, Live from the

Landing.” In the fall of 2003, he performed as an international guest artist for the First

Annual Gypsy-Jazz Festival in New Caledonia. He is a co-producer of the Djangofest

SF, a San Francisco bay area festival dedicated to Gypsy Jazz (Djangofestsf.com)

In 1991, Paul went out on his own and formed The Hot Club of San Francisco,

releasing its first CD in 1992 entitled, “QHCSF”. For the past thirteen years Paul and

the Hot Club have released 10 CDs on various labels, five of which have been

produced by Paul. The group has been presented by the San Francisco Jazz Festival,

the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee, Festival de Jazz in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and

the “Festivals du Django Reinhardt” in France and in Iceland.

Paul and the other members of The Hot Club of San Francisco are currently

performing throughout the world and are pleased to announce their new CD

entitled, “Bohemian Maestro-Django Reinhardt and the Impressionists.” Paul himself,

has just produced the third volume in an instructional video series for Homespun

Tapes titled, “How to play Django Style Gypsy Jazz Guitar,” volumes #1 and #2 of

which were produced in 1997. He is also looking forward to an upcoming family

collaboration with his wife, dancer/choreographer Kerry Mehling, and her company,

“Talismanic Physical Theater.”

EVAN PRICE (violin) is steadily becoming one of the most respected jazz violinists

of his generation. A native of Detroit, MI, his musical background includes some

earnest dues-paying in a variety of genres. From square dance bands to string

quartets, from jamming with blues bands to busking in Greektown, Evan's youthful

pursuits all informed his violin-playing and left him with a deep love of chamber

music in all forms. As a young competitive fiddler he won his share of awards, having

been named the U.S. Scottish Fiddling Champion, the Kentucky State Fiddle

Champion, Canadian Junior Fiddle Champion, and Canadian Novelty Fiddling

Champion. He also performed with some of the masters of fiddle lore — Stephane

Grappelli, Johnny Frigo, Claude "Fiddler" Williams, Johnny Gimble, Buddy Spicher,

and Vassar Clements — as well as a diverse array of pop icons from Stevie Wonder

and Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and Robert Plant to comedian Steven Wright.

Evan's college career included stints at both The Cleveland Institute of Music and at

Berklee College of Music and he has served on the music faculties of Wellesley

College and the Jazzschool Institute in Berkeley, CA.

Evan is a ten-year veteran of the world-renowned jazz ensemble, the Turtle Island

Quartet. During his tenure in Turtle Island, the group gave over five hundred

performances in concert venues from Latvia to Australia and had the opportunity to

collaborate with many prominent artists, such as Cuban clarinetist Paquito D'Rivera,

The Ying Quartet, pianists Dr. Billy Taylor and Kenny Barron, and classical guitarists

Sergio and Odair Assad. Evan recorded five CD's with Turtle Island, two of which —

"Four + 4" and “A Love Supreme — The Legacy of John Coltrane” — received

Grammy® Awards in 2006 and 2008 in the Classical Crossover category.

An accomplished composer, Evan has contributed compositions and arrangements

to the repertoires of HCSF, Turtle Island Quartet, Quartet San Francisco, Providence

String Quartet, Irish fiddler Liz Carroll, and the New Century Chamber Orchestra.

Since joining HCSF in 1998, his talents have been featured on six Hot Club

recordings. He lives in Mill Valley, CA, with his wife and daughter.

CLINT BAKER (Chadwick Folding Bass) is the supreme jazz floater (and a young one

at that, at 40). He plays all the rhythm section instruments, plus trombone, trumpet,

clarinet & sax — and has been paying the sidemen in his band since he was 14. Clint

Baker’s New Orleans Jazz Band has been featured at the New Orleans Jazz and

Heritage Festival and at the Monterey Jazz Festival, as well as many other venues

across the U.S. and Canada. As an ‘axe for hire’, Clint has played and recorded with

Hal Smith’s Rhythm Makers and Roadrunners, the Jim Cullum Jazz Band, and many

others. In 2003, Clint and Paul collaborated on two recordings, one with legendary

singer, William Warfield and one with Bay Area newcomer, Dawn Lambeth. He’s a

jazz educator and historian and lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife,

jazz radio host Alisa Clancy, and their twins, Riley & Ramona.

JEFF MAGIDSON (Rhythm Guitar) was born in San Francisco in 1963. His parents,

both musicians, taught him to read music and play the piano at an early age.

Throughout childhood he was exposed to many different styles of music and flirted

with a number of instruments, (drums, bass, harmonica), before finally settling with

the guitar. After his studies at U.C. Berkeley in 1983, he moved to France. Over the

last twenty years he has performed throughout Europe both as a solo artist and with

a variety of groups, releasing three solo albums and a score more with other artists.

During his stay in France, he inevitably encountered ‘le Jazz Manouche’ — the music

of Django Reinhardt. Like so many before him, it was a jaw-dropping experience, and

he spent many an hour trying to fathom the subtleties of Gypsy Rhythm Guitar,

better known as ‘La Pompe.’ He returned to the Bay Area with his family where he

was thrilled to discover and become part of the Hot Club of San Francisco. He also

performs with his wife under the name Dui Gadjo.

ISABELLE FONTAINE (Rhythm Guitar) was born and raised in the French

countryside with the voices of Edith Piaf, Charles Trenet, and Yves Montand ringing

in her ears. She originally had no intention of becoming a professional musician but

when she started singing with a group of friends for fun, her talent was immediately

recognized and her life took an unexpected turn. She spent the next twenty years

singing and playing the snare drum to the jumping jive music of the '50's throughout

France, with detours to Spain and over the Alps to Switzerland. During this period,

she developed an unconditional love for the Ladies and the Dukes of the Big Band

Era and was eventually drawn to the gypsy swing of Django Reinhardt and The Hot

Club of France. It wasn't long before she picked up the guitar and applied her

impeccable sense of rhythm to the stringed instrument. In 2004 she moved with her

family to the Bay Area and has since become highly sought after not only as a

vocalist but also as a rhythm guitar player.
