The Band
A Parisian spirit, a London heartbeat
The Hot Club of Jupiter began as a recording project in 2013, but the music kept going after the associated campaign was withdrawn. The band became known for an agile blend of swinging acoustic jazz, New Orleans colour, French-inspired atmosphere and a playful approach to performance.
What began as a one-off commercial music session grew into a live ensemble with appearances at jazz clubs and swing-dance events. The 2023 lineup is listed below.
