In 1933, Charles Delaunay became the club's concert organizer , bringing well-known American jazz musicians such as Coleman Hawkins , Bill Coleman and Benny Carter to concerts in France.
In 1934, at the suggestion of Pierre Nourry and Delaunay, the guitarist Django Reinhardt and the violinist Stéphane Grappelli founded the jazz ensemble Quintette du Hot Club de France in Paris .
In 1946 there was a break between Hugues Panassié and Delaunay because Panassié did not want to recognize the bebop, which was coming to Europe from the USA at the time, as true jazz . The break also created a split within the Hot Club.
The Hot Club organizes concerts, publishes an information sheet as a monthly magazine and publishes jazz recordings. The clubhouse is located on Montmartre on Rue Chaptal . There are regional clubs in the French province and Belgium.
