The Hot Sardines are a modern jazz band known for their energetic performances and revival of hot jazz, swing, and early American popular song from the 1920s to 1940s. Their sound incorporates elements of New Orleans jazz, Western swing, and Tin Pan Alley styles, often featuring vibrant horn arrangements and playful vocals. The band gained prominence through busking in New York City subways and has since released several albums to critical acclaim.
