"Hot Lips" must have seemed a strange choice for the QHCF.
Although the song was only 15 years old at the time, it was certainly dated as a remnant of 1920s hot-cha.
After a plethora of recordings in the twenties, the song went unrecorded by jazz artists for nearly five years.
Significantly, the two recordings from 1935 and 1936 were made in London, and perhaps Grappelli or Reinhardt heard one of those versions and decided to try it with the QHCF.
At any rate, this is a very pleasant medium-tempo version of the song.
Grappelli starts off the proceedings with a fairly straight reading of the melody over the trademark chunk, chunk-a-chunk rhythm of the guitars.
Django's solo is marked by a long section in parallel sixths. Usually, Django avoided using the same sound for several bars,
but here, there is a mild amount of experimenting going on, first to see how long he could maintain interest with the same voicing,
and second, to see if a slight change would break up the monotony.
As he finishes an eight-bar phrase, he fills in the note between the open sixth creating a chord voicing
straight out of Alvino Rey! In fact, the figure he plays involves moving the voicing between chords a half-step apart,
which is an easy effect to play on a slide guitar. The effect is a little corny and Reinhart didn't use it much, but for an old obscure song, it worked well enough.
