THE HOT CLUB OF SAN FRANCISCO By NATE CHINEN
Gypsy swing meets holiday cheer, with an amiable side helping of schmaltz. The Hot Club of San Francisco, an accomplished band in this vein, welcomes a handful of likeminded guests to the party here, including the Ivory Club Boys (who help jazz up a section of Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker Suite”) and Le Jazz Hot Trio (who sit in on “The Christmas Song”). Among the other effortless successes: “Don Rodolfo,” a sultry, minor key recasting of that red-nosed reindeer tune. www.HCSF.com
