Cool Yule Plays The Alden Theatre 12/11
By: Gabrielle Sierra Dec. 01, 2010
Fresh off of their Lincoln Center appearance, gypsy jazz ensemble Hot Club of San Francisco will bring their Cool Yule tour to the Alden Theatre in McLean for a concert on Saturday, Dec. 11 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $28, $23 for McLean tax district residents. The theatre is located at 1234 Ingleside Avenue.
Hot Club of San Francisco usually takes audiences back to the smoky jazz clubs of 1930s Paris, and Cool Yule adds a stop at the North Pole by putting a French twist on seasonal classics. The ensemble celebrates the music of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli's pioneering Hot Club de France by borrowing the all-string instrumentation of violin, bass and guitars from the original Hot Club. The concert will provide both an alternative to the usual holiday entertainment and an opportunity for those of all backgrounds to enjoy the season together.Alden Theatre will open its dance floor for those wishing to dance during the concert and the Friends of the McLean Community Center will host a free wine and cheese reception after the event.
