The Clearwater Hot Club is a dedicated to preserving the repertoire and instrumentation of the hot club swing style pioneered by Manouche Roma jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. Much of the repertoire played in this group are songs either performed or written by Django Reinhardt, though other styles of music such as French Musette, Brazilian choro, and Eastern European folk music are interpreted through the musical lens and technique of hot club swing. In recent years Sam Miltich has written original works of music in the hot club style, giving credence to the roots and traditions of the music while bringing a fresh new voice to it.
