In the fall of 2004 Gene Epstein assembled a small group of musicians to play a benefit. Though strangers at the start of the gig they could tell something special had occurred and Gene's Jazz Hot was born. Cafe Limbo , a popular Cleveland vegetarian restaurant was our home until it closed in August 2007. Wanting to keep us in the neighborhood, we were invited to play down the street at Loganberry Books on the second Thursday of the month. Gene's Jazz Hot also plays for concerts, art openings, house parties and other fun events.
Gene's Jazz Hot plays jazz from the swing era with their own special energy,excitement and humor. They call it: "seriously happy, swinging music".
They released their first CD "Hot" in August of 2006 and their second CD "Live, Love, Laugh and Be Happy" in October 2009. Both are available for $15 exclusively through Loganberry Books
