"Dark Eyes" (Ochi Chornye) is a world-renowned Russian folk song, whose haunting melody and passionate lyrics have inspired countless arrangements across genres since the late 19th century. The lyrics, written by Ukrainian poet Yevhen Hrebinka in 1843, evoke the mesmerizing and dangerous beauty of a lover’s dark eyes. The melody was adapted from Florian Hermann's "Valse Hommage" (circa 1884), but it was only in the early 20th century that the song gained international popularity.

Over the years, "Dark Eyes" has become a favorite among classical musicians, gypsy jazz performers, and jazz artists alike. The tune’s irresistible harmonic structure and dramatic character make it perfect for reinterpretation—Django Reinhardt, Al Bowlly, Louis Armstrong, and many others recorded their own versions. Your arrangement for solo classical guitar, featured in a jazz trio with acoustic bass and drums, brings a fresh swing and improvisational flair to this timeless classic.

Fun Fact: The song is often associated with Romani (Gypsy) performers, whose virtuosic playing styles have shaped the way "Dark Eyes" is interpreted in both classical and jazz settings. Its modal minor tonality and dramatic phrasing offer endless possibilities for expressive jazz improvisation.

Live in Mössingen // July 2025

“Blood Money” by Lux Coven and Django Brix is a Southern-born anthem rooted in truth, legacy, and transformation. Blending dark trap with chant-driven intensity, the track speaks for those who’ve had to earn everything the hard way. Lux brings visionary lyricism and depth, while Django Brix delivers grounded, blue-collar fire. Together, they channel Florida’s raw energy into something bigger than music — a movement. This isn’t about ego or conflict — it’s about standing tall, owning your story, and inspiring others to do the same. Blood Money is a rally cry for the unheard, built on scars, pride, and purpose.

Et autour de nous
Chantent les Tziganes
Et le monde s'en fout
S'enivre au champagne
Dans tes beaux yeux noirs
Je sombre, mon amour
Et mon désespoir
À leur chant est sourd....

Danny, Mano, Alex, Jonas und Seva stellen als Quintett den klassischen Hot Club-Sound aus Gesang, Gitarren, Violine und Bass mit Saxophon auf den Kopf. Fabian verbindet mit Beats, Synths und Turntables den Jazz Manouche mit Electro und bringt den unverwechselbaren Groove des Electro-Swing ein. Stilsicher und sympathisch fließen an elektronische Beats mit melodischen Elementen des Swing zusammen und zeigen eine besondere Seite des Electro-Swing. Klar ist, Tanzen fällt heute Abend nicht schwer.

Where is the purpose in your life
Where is the truth
Do you remember your hopes Your dreams
They are no longer your own
This day is for living your own life
Don't let this world capture your heart
Your passion lost to a thousand themes
Surrendered to the screen
This is not a story
This is not a book this is your life
And this is not a play
Some TV show you've seen
This is real life
