The band plays music in the style of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, but also traditional songs and melodies from the Swedish-speaking areas of Ostrobothnia in gypsy jazz style.
The HCdJ members are Mikael Fröjdö, violin, Joel Svenfelt, guitar, Peki Jansson, guitar, and Rufus Malen, double bass. The band is a passion project for its members, and over the past two and a half years they have performed on many different types of stages: at festivals, in pubs, at clubs and in cafés. In the future, the band is planning to take over Finnish and Nordic jazz, ethnomusic and folk music stages – and recording sessions.
