PATRON SAINT DJANGO

Saddle up and get ready for a swing-infused, rollicking good time with Patron Saint Django, the first release of the Hot House West Swing Orchestra. 

 

This record is a heartfelt tribute to the trailblazers of jazz and swing: Django Reinhardt, Jimmie Lunceford, and Bob Wills. Strap in and prepare to have your mind blown as we unleash a unique big band sound that’ll have you tapping your feet and dancing your heart out!

 

You can feel the camaraderie and passion that Hot House West shares as they play each and every tune. This tight-knit group of musicians is more than just a band; they’re family, brought together by their love of the music and a desire to keep the spirit of swing alive.

 

Let Patron Saint Django transport you to the days of smoky jazz clubs, lively dance halls, and good ‘ol fashioned barn dances, where the spirit of swing is alive and kicking. But don’t think this is just a walk down memory lane — no, sir! Hot House West adds their own unique spin to create a sound that’s fresh as a morning on the open range.

​

So, what are you waiting for? Crank up the volume, throw your worries to the wind, and let Patron Saint Django carry you away on a wave of swingin’, soul-stirring tunes. Trust me, this is one musical adventure you won’t want to miss. And that’s a promise from one cowboy to another.
