MHC is a gypsy jazz group that plays hot swing of the 30s and 40s. Steeped in the gypsy jazz tradition, the group celebrates the music made popular by legendary guitarist, Django Reinhardt, and jazz violinist, Stephane Grappelli. An impressive repertoire of period music, along with newer favorites and a growing body of original compositions, make for an unforgetable listening experience.

“I wanted to thank you again for performing at the Silo/Hunt Hill Farm. The thoughtful exciting arrangements, the precise playing and clarity, the professionalism—the whole package of musical excellence just blew everyone away. The originals were on par with the covers. You guys are spectacular. We hope you enjoyed your time here and will come back to play for us again.”

“MHC has the ability to transport you to many different places; a jazz club lounge dancing the tango, a gypsy caravan's campfire, front row seat at the orchestra or a lovely corner table at the best restaurant in Orange County! Be assured that you will be entertained by the talent of the musicians as well as the choice of the music.”
