Hot Club Pacific is a jazz guitar oriented group that plays selections from the Great American Songbook and the compositions of Django Reinhardt. We are all seasoned pros and aim to please!
We booked Hot Club Pacific as a guitar duo for our wedding ceremony and the music was wonderful! Our guests loved them, as did we, and Marc was very easy to work with and accommodating of our song requests. Would definitely recommend them.

Gig Length: 60 - 240 minutes
Swing jazz is our one and only specialty. We play tunes with beautiful melodies and mix things up with the occasional Latin groove or waltz.
Hot Club Pacific starts with a jazz guitar duo (Marc Schwartz and Ned Boynton or Jack Fields). A bass makes us a trio (Aaron Cohn or Nat Johnson or Bill Bosch) and if there is room in the budget a clarinet can be added (Dale Mills or Tom Griesser) or accordion (Ron Borelli) or drums (Olaf Schippiacsse). We play very danceable music that is "Gypsy Jazz" with a decidedly American accent. We are perfect for anything from a small gathering where pleasant background music is needed for ambience to a large event where a first rate classic jazz band is needed for listening or dancing. The band has performed at many major music festivals. We are punctual, presentable and friendly. We know hundreds of tunes and often take requests. Our rates for the duo start at $250.
We need two armless chairs at a minimum (for the duo). If we are to be heard by more than a very small gathering (where we can play totally acoustic), we need an outlet within 25 feet of the performance area. If we are to be outdoors, we need to be under cover (our instruments go out of tune if they are subject to direct sunlight!)
