Biography
They are influenced by the music of Hot Club de France, and the French gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt. They formed a quartet with violinist Ivar Brodahl (1928–2003), later replaced by Finn Hauge, that became part of the international renaissance of the gypsy jazz in the 1980s.[2]
Hot Club de Norvege has worked with Stéphane Grappelli, Jimmy Rosenberg, Stochelo Rosenberg, Nigel Kennedy, and the Vertavo String Quartet.
In 1980 they started the Django Festival in Norway.[1]
Larsen retired in 2019 and was replaced with then 18-year old Ola Erlien.[3]

gollark: I suppose, but that's moderately harder and also cropping things means loss of quality due to recompression, while cutting out time segments of a video is fine.
gollark: But you can really easily remove those.
gollark: As a counterproverb. But it doesn't actually *matter*, since they aren't true.
gollark: The alleged context was tacked on later.
