“Good fun that deserves to be taken seriously!”- Bebop Spoken Here

"Sensational, they raised the roof at our festival late-night show. Kit Massey is a true jazz violin virtuoso, and the jokes are hilarious too. Foot tappingly brilliant and a groovy night guaranteed." The Sacconi Festival

​

The Hot Club of Jupiter was formed to provide the music for the 2013 Renault Clio online ad campaign, which judged too lewd for public consumption and was promptly withdrawn. The band, however, lives on - playing their unique mix of Reinhardt and Grappelli inspired gypsy swing, hot jazz, New Orleans grooves, Brazilian carnival samba, French surrealism and Sci-Fi inspired soundscapes that take you on a musical journey through space and time! 

​

The band enjoy a busy touring and performing schedule and are regulars at both London jazz venues and on the swing dance circuit. Previous highlights include sold outs gigs at London’s Ronnie Scotts, Pizza Express Dean Street, The London Jazz Festival, Cadogan Hall, The Sacconi Festival, a BBC Radio 3 live session and a mammoth 8 gigs in 3 days at the Cork Jazz Festival.

​

2025 is set to be an exciting year for the Hot Club of Jupiter, with their soon to be released album 'Copacallisto' hitting  streaming platforms soon. In the meantime, you can hear the first single from the album 'Craven Street Pit Blues' on youtube, Spotify, Apple Music etc.
