John Paul George & Django

Hot Club of SF, “John, Paul, George and Django”
Label: Hot Club Records
Reviewed by: Kim Walter, November 2016

Well known, immediately recognizable Beatles tunes mixed in with tunes only a well-seasoned aficionado of the Fab Four would know, all done as an homage to Gypsy Jazz legend Django Reinhardt by America’s longest running Gypsy swing combo. Called a “reveltory reimagining of classic Beatles tunes”. Each song is a completely unique cover. No elevator music here!! Faves; 1, 3, **8, **10, 13, 14
CD has creative Andy Warhol style art of the three Beatles and Django
