Dave Gleason is a legendary fixture on the West Coast Honky
Tonk/Americana circuit since the early 1990's. A recent move placed him in
Nashville, TN. where Dave just finished a new Kenny Vaughan produced album
featuring The Fabulous Superlatives due out in 2013. With four albums of his
own to his credit (and countless lead guitar sessions for other artists),
Gleason has shared the stage with Rodney Crowell/Marty Stuart's Fabulous
Superlatives/Jim Lauderdale/Rosanne Cash/Charlie Louvin/ Albert Lee/Bill
Kirchen/ X and Deke Dickerson to name just a few. Dan Forte from Vintage Guitar
Magazine says of Dave Gleason's latest album "Turn And
Fade"...'Throughout, Gleason's offers enough new wrinkles to stake his
claim as more than merely another “new traditionalist.” Dave Gleason has
returned from Nashville back to Los Angeles.
Hot Club of Los Angeles plays gypsy jazz, a style of music pioneered by the Belgian
guitar virtuoso and composer Django Reinhardt (1910-1953). The seven members of
the Hot Club of Los Angeles are all
esteemed southern California-based musicians with backgrounds as sidemen and
band leaders in a wide array of musical styles, including jazz, blues, country,
rockabilly, jump blues, pop, rock, folk and various forms of world music. When
these players come together to perform as the Hot Club of Los Angeles, they
draw inspiration from Django's group, the Quintette du Hot Club de France and
the array of other great gypsy jazz musicians who laid the groundwork for this
infectious musical genre that continues to entrance audiences today.
