Hot Club of Cowtown blends early jazz and Texas swing, performed masterfully by guitarist Whit Smith and fiddler Elana James. After a hiatus, they returned stronger and became one of the standout improvising western swing acts. Their sound echoes the spirit and skill praised by the London Guardian, reminiscent of the 1930s jazz legends Stéphane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt. The April 7 concert at The Ark in Ann Arbor was a testament to their infectious energy and deep musical connection.
