The Hot Club of Beijing 乐队是中国首屈一指的吉普赛爵士乐队，于 2010 年 1 月 23 日在北京成立。这个特殊的日期也是 Django Reinhardt 诞辰 100 周年纪念日。Django 被誉为吉普赛爵士乐的创始人，也是著名的吉普赛爵士乐队——法国热力俱乐部（The Hot Club of France）的创始人。

The Hot Club of Beijing 乐队犹如一台时光机，带领着观众穿越时空回到上世纪三、四十年代。乐队继承且发扬了吉普赛爵士乐传奇人物——强哥·莱恩哈特的音乐精髓外，还汲取各方音乐，如：传统的吉普赛圆舞曲、美国经典摇摆乐、火热的拉丁乐曲、意大利曲调，甚至中国传统音乐。他们将开启一次你从未经历过的复古音乐之旅，带给听众无限的触动。

China’s premier gypsy jazz ensemble, The Hot Club of Beijing, was founded in Beijing on January 23rd, 2010. This date marks the 100th birthday of gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt, who is credited as being the creator of gypsy jazz as well as the founder of the legendary band The Hot Club of France.

The Hot Club of Beijing is truly a time machine band, which takes listeners on a journey back to the 30s / 40s. They continue to carry on the tradition of legendary gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt, as well as perform traditional gypsy waltzes, American swing classics, fiery Latin pieces and even traditional Chinese and Italian tunes. This melting pot of influences creates a truly unique experience.
