The band "Certains l'aiment chaud" has a website (in french language):
http://www.certainslaimentchaud.com/index.php

The explanation about the name of the orchestra (in English, translated 
with Google translate):

"With a veiled to the movie 'Certains l'aiment chaud' ("Some Like It 
Hot") by Billy Wilder, the idea was to prove that jazz was not just a 
case of men and bring him a particular sensitivity was a bet of the 
orchestra since its creation, before becoming evident".

I am surprised that this website is only in French. Indeed Kiki Desplat 
lives in Sweden and the orchestra performs worldwide. In addition, from 
my humble point of view, Kiki (nickname for Christine) speaks very good 
English.
