SARATOGA SPRINGS – The woman dancing down the aisle Saturday at Saratoga Performing Arts Center danced what everybody felt as the Hot Club of Saratoga, first act playing Freihofer’s Saratoga Jazz Festival, lit up “Swing 42.”
Musically, the festival looked back. The Hot Club celebrated 1930s fleet “gypsy jazz” of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli. Joey Alexander explored the piano’s every dialect, eloquent ala McCoy Tyner, Oscar Peterson and Teddy Wilson. Dianne Reeves sang and skated Brazilian-style: Antonio Carlos Jobim and Joao Gilberto. And Christian McBride’s New Jawn hard-bopped like the Jazz Messengers, Charles Mingus and Miles Davis.
