Hot Fingers welcomes you to an eclectic mix of vintage acoustic string music. We visit the hot jazz of 1920’s New York and sophisticated 1930’s Swing. From the ‘French Coffee House’ sound of the king of gypsy swing Django Reinhardt, the early blues of Lonnie Johnson, the syncopated Latin rhythms of artists such as Argentinean Oscar Aleman, and the jazz and swing pioneer Eddie Lang. This is mixed with vocals from the song-writing greats such as Cole Porter and Irving Berlin, crooners such as Bing Crosby and Al Boley, and novelty features from the likes of Cliff ‘Ukulele Ike’ Edwards. We even stray dangerously close to rock and roll with the shuffle rhythms of Louis Prima (best known for being ‘King Louis’ in the Jungle Book!). Feel free to browse songs at left (below) and have a listen! All material © Hot Fingers
