| "The
Hot Club - the band brought the house down! The cool sophistication of The Hot Club
was one of the indisputable highlights of the festival. This jazz quartet wows the
crowd with the dazzling virtuosity of their playing! The Hot Club were sublime jazz
musicians, the brilliance of violinist Alex Yellowlees matched by extraordinary yet
effortless guitar playing from Nigel Clark" The Shetland International Music Festival "Alex Yellowlees' style is reminiscent of the late
Stephane Grappelli and he performs with much of the French maestro's melodic inventiveness." "The Hot Club mix elegance and passion in a
swinging jazz performance! Jazz violinists are a pretty rare breed with considerable
technical and stylistic problems to master - yet Alex Yellowlees made it seem easy!
His grace and agility were unmistakable and his finely crafted solos were a highlight of
the evening. Nigel Clark displays an astonishing level of virtuosity!" |
