Fiddler Elana James (née Fremerman) and guitar whiz Whit Smith are the formidable front line of the Hot Club of Cowtown, who have been mixing Western Swing and 1920s hot jazz since the mid-1990s. This collection features some of the finest moments .
the band’s first decade or so, as Smith’s Jimmy Bryant-meets-Django Reinhardt guitar and Fremerman’s Stephane Grappelli-jams-with-Bob Wills fiddle dig into both original tunes and old country and jazz gems with equal aplomb.

Smoky Parisian bistros and steamy eight-to-the-bar rhythms, with an occasional two-step toward Texas roadhouse swing, continue to inspire AustinпїЅs archival threesome on Ghost Train. The band covers a few old tunes, but the best performances crop up on their own songs and particularly the ones fashioned with Art Deco affectation. These dominate the first part of the album, most persuasively on пїЅSleep,пїЅ deftly written and performed in fairly authentic gypsy style, and пїЅHome,пїЅ which features a disarming, unaffected vocal by Elana Fremerman over a sly and slippery melody line. Hot Club of CowtownпїЅs relatively routine performance of пїЅYou Took Advantage of MeпїЅ leads to wilder Western territory; here, aside from FremermanпїЅs searing fiddle throughout пїЅCherokee Shuffle,пїЅ their reversion to rawboned cowboy rusticity leaves an anti-climactic aftertaste. Paradoxically, these Texans feel more at home when their minds and their music are thousands of miles away. ~ Robert L. Doerschuk
Recorded at Rootball Studio, Austin, Texas between April 29 and May 24, 2002.
Western swing revivalists Hot Club of Cowtown formed in San Diego, CA in 1996; originally a duo pairing singer/violinist Elana Fremerman and singer/guitarist Whit Smith, a subsequent move to Austin, TX made room for the addition of bassist Billy Horton. Signing to Hightone, the trio issued its debut album, SwinginпїЅ Stampede!, in the fall of 1998; the follow-up, Tall Tales, appeared a year later. New bassist Matt Weiner joined Smith and Fremerman for 2000пїЅs DevпїЅlish Mary. Ghost Train came two years later in 2002, and it showed the group focusing more on original material and cutting back on the amount of covers. Continental Stomp followed in 2003, with Wishful Thinking arriving in 2009, and in 2011, the Hot Club finally surrendered to the obvious and released a tribute to Bob Wills, What Makes Bob Holler (the album was actually released in November of 2010 in the U.K.).
One of the most beautiful albums we’ve heard in years from the groundbreaking Scandinavian scene – a really unique outing that features duets between bassist Ingebrigt Haker Flaten and saxophonist Hakon Kornstad – playing their own improv jazz takes on themes from traditional Norwegian hymns! There’s a solemnity to the music that’s quite different from other recordings we’ve heard from either player – a timelessness, and a sense of respect that comes through right away – and which means that even though the work is still somewhat free, it’s got an earthy grounding and sense of history. Kornstad’s tenor lines are surprisingly soulful – really notching up our respect for his talents even more than usual. (Source: Dusty Groove America, Inc.)

Music of Another Present Era remains Oregon’s most enduring masterwork. Achieving a perfect balance of musical traditions from the East and West, ancient to future, they set the stage not only for a new transculturalism in jazz, but also created a lasting template for the fusion of musics from world traditions that would flower over a decade later. [...] This is fusion music, to be sure, but it’s the kind of fusion musicians have been trying unsuccessfully to emulate for decades. Music of Another Present Era is one of the most poetic and groundbreaking records to be released in the 1970s. —Thom Jurek, All Music Guide
