Hot Lips

"Hot Lips" is a lively jazz composition by Louis Armstrong, first recorded in 1929. Known for its upbeat tempo and catchy melody, the song became a popular hit in the jazz world. Django Reinhardt did not record Hot Lips himself, but its energetic swing and playful feel fit seamlessly within the tradition of gypsy jazz. Though Django didn’t perform this piece, the spirit of Hot Lips aligns with the joyful, improvisational style of gypsy jazz, making it a song that could easily be embraced by jazz musicians in the genre.
