about

In March & October 2017, two lineups of the Hot Club of Hawthorne went into the various studios of Fremont Recording – two very different sonic environments – and performed live in the studio; it was mixed to tape for an organic sound. The result is a diverse collection of tracks – just as it was performed: no overdubs or post-production alterations.
One session, recorded in a compact basement studio, included an expanded lineup of 7 musicians:
Jeffree White (founder) – guitar, vocals
Jason Reichert (Down Home Music, the Juleps) – guitar, vocals
Rick King (Steer Crazy, Inspirational Beets) – guitar, vocals
Jeffrey Reynolds (Down Home Music) – violin
Steve Cleveland (Hot Club Time Machine) – accordion
Ralph Carney (Tom Waits, Pepper Grinders) – clarinet, saxophone
Drew Nelson (Vagabond Opera) – bass
The other session featured standard instrumentation for the Hot Club: two guitars, violin, upright bass:
Jeffree White -- guitar, vocals
Twayn Williams (Hot Club Du Jour, Jenny Finn Orchestra) -- guitar
Flauren Ricketts (Lulus Wing, Cafe Cowboys) -- violin, harmony vocals
Bernardo Gomez (every swing band in town) -- bass

Brud Giles engineered, mixed, and mastered, as well as sponsoring the endeavor.
14 songs were captured, including swing numbers from 1922 or earlier,
gypsy traditionals, a Brazilian choro standard, and a waltz:
Whispering
Stumbling
Songe D'Automne
Avalon
Sheik of Araby
Cesar Swing
Tico Tico
Some of These Days
St. Louis Blues
Alabama Jubilee
Swing Gitan
Rose Room
World is Waiting for the Sunrise
