Press:
"At 7 p.m. sharp, Hot Club Pacific swung into action. And I do mean swung. This tight trio of Marc Schwartz, Jack Fields and Matt Bohn -- on guitars and bass, respectively -- cranked out some of the best Django Reinhardt-style hot jazz I've heard in a long while" -Ann Parker Santa Cruz Sentinel (April 7, 2010).
