Hard swinging, original, all-acoustic gypsy jazz straight from New Orleans!
The New Orleans based Russell Welch Hot Quartet plays an exciting, fresh version of swing-era jazz in the style of the great gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt. The group's first release (all original music), Showarama Hot Trio, was nominated "Best Traditional Jazz Album" by the New Orleans Offbeat Music Awards who called the playing, "masterful," and a review by Offbeat Magazine stated, "This is no easy listening outing but instead, the kind of spiritually dense record that sparks the mind to be sharper, the tone to be warmer, the heart to be more open."
Mississippi Gipsy is a new, evolved batch of original compositions highlighting Russell's (MS born and raised) songwriting and guitar playing. Influenced by everything from Rachmaninov to the Beach Boys, Django to the music and culture New Orleans, these songs accurately represent the group's unique sound and energy.
