Hot Club du Chicago is an acoustic jazz string quartet specializing in the vibrant and infectious gypsy swing jazz of the 1920s and 1930s. This distinctive style was pioneered by the legendary Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli in France, creating a unique blend of upbeat tempo swing and nostalgic melodies that are impossible to resist. With intricate improvisations and a captivating rhythm, this genre stands apart from bebop jazz and is renowned for its technical challenge and expressive depth. Widely celebrated in Europe, gypsy swing jazz is now gaining popularity in the United States, bringing its irresistible charm to new audiences.

The Hot Club du Chicago Quartet has been delighting audiences with their performances, making them the perfect choice for special occasions, both private and corporate. Their lineup consists of:

• Jazz Violin
• Solo Guitar
• Rhythm Guitar
• Stand-Up Bass

Leading the quartet is violinist Daniela Bisenius, born in Bucharest, Romania. Daniela's musical journey began at the tender age of five, guided by her parents, both professional pianists. She honed her skills at the prestigious Music School George Enescu, studying under Dinu Cristea and later Valeriu Rogacev. As a teenager, she performed alongside her father and brother with major symphony orchestras and opera houses in Germany. At 19, she secured a position with the Staatsphilharmonie Ludwigshafen and went on to perform with renowned ensembles such as the Frankfurt Opera, Munich Philharmonic, Bayerisches Rundfunk, and RTL Luxembourg. Daniela continued her studies at the Musikhochschule Saarbrücken with Russian instructor Valerie Gradov and attended Violin Master Classes in Nice, France, with maestros Henrick Szeryng and Gérard Poulet.

In 1988, Daniela moved to the United States, where she received a full scholarship to the University of Iowa, studying under Professor Leopold La Fosse. She gained national attention by appearing in a televised Master Class with Isaac Stern and performed with various professional orchestras, including the Naples Philharmonic, Phoenix Symphony, and Lyric Opera of Chicago. Over the years, Daniela has shared the stage with stars like Natalie Cole, Luther Vandross, Smokey Robinson, and Kurt Elling. In 2010, she showcased her versatility by playing the fiddle in the sold-out musical "Always Patsy Cline," as one of the four-piece band members known as “The Bodacious Bobcats.”
