Selected Songs
Made for Wesley
Tämän biisin on säveltänyt 1980 syntynyt Jimmy Rosenberg vuonna 2004. Jimmy on sinto-romani Belgiasta ja aloitti kitaransoiton 7-vuotiaana. Hänestä tuli jo pikkupoikana maailmanlaajuinen supertähti, joka valitettavasti käytännössä jo melkein teininä kaatui koviin huumeisiin ja menetti yhtä äkkiä kuin saavuttikin, ihan kaiken
Start Over
"Some compositions are all about harmony. Indeed i played, fiddled with and perfected the harmonic structure for this one for weeks before finally settling for the one you hear here. After the chordal pattern flowed naturally - just to start over when reaching the end, the melody was just a matter of listening one self and writing down, so it came really fast and almost automatic." - Aki Hauru
Jardin D'hiver
From our record release show, featuring Jousikaiku String Quartet!
Belleville
A popular composition by Django Reinhardt from 1942, named after a neighborhood in Paris, near Montmartre.
The Snake Charmer
This is an arrangement from our violinist Laura! It's the two Snake Charmer songs combined into one! Cool!
Valse 40
We really needed a waltz in our repertoire, so Laura wrote this one for Aki's 40th birthday. A beautiful tune, indeed!
Mabel
Django Reinhardt fancied to listen to a black jazz singer called Mabel Mercer and composed this cool song with an irresistible groove.
Smile
An absolute classic composed by the great Charles Chaplin in 1936, this arrangement of ours has been in our repertoire for a long time.
Stompin' At Kaisa's
An original song written by Tero. He was inspired by a gig we played at a wedding, where the guests were dancing and stomping so hard the whole wooden building was shaking!
Malagueta
An original song written by Kimmo. First appearence on Jazz Partout's album Ravi (2007). Here re-arranged for DCH by Aki.
Malaguena
This is our version of a version played by Oscar Aleman's orchestra. Ernesto Lecuona wrote this in the 20's.
Billet Doux
Love letters, not a Django song but he recorded this one in 1938 and 1947.
Anniversary Song
Originally, a waltz from 1880 by Ion Ivanovic, this here is Laura's awesome arrangement for us!
Paquito
We did a trio show, which was a lot of fun! This is a Ninine Garcia song.
Start Over
An original song written by Aki. It's about, well, starting over. And over. And over again. :)
Impromptu
Django's composition from 1950. This was definitely influenced with a thing happening in the states at the time called be-pop.
