DCH is a group of musicians sharing the love for the passion and expression of Gypsy Jazz music. Starting out in 2011, they’ve since been performing at all sorts of venues actively. Also their hosted jams and clubs have become a phenomenon of sorts in Helsinki. This album finally marks the group’s first take on some of their favourite tunes from the golden era of swing, while also laying the groundwork for future originals of their own. Enjoy & stay tuned!
