Beeindruckende Aufnahme. Es muss ein Erlebnis gewesen sein, eine solche Band mal live zu erleben.

@@HeadHunter131 Oh das können Sie sagen. Stellen Sie sich vor im Stephanie Hotel in Baden-Baden zur Zeit von John Abrianis Engagement dort gewesen zu sein oder im Eden-Hotel während Arthur Briggs dort musizierte. Oder natürlich auch Lud Gluskin im Haus Gurmenia. Die Aufzählungen sind so gut wie endlos. Eine Zeitmaschine müsste erfunden werden

One of the greatest Bands of all time. I never tire of hearing Jack Hylton's great orchestra.

Jack Hylton had a very successful orchestra in Europe!

[@DasJazzArchiv]

Oh Yes, quite! He was in France live, in Holland, in Germany of course and countless others in which he was already known for his records. The most well known Orchestra of the 20s in Europe

[@jourwalis-8875]

Where in Berlin was this recorded? It must have been in a very big hall, of some sort. You can really hear the acoustics.

[@DasJazzArchiv]

This was recorded in the so called “Beethovensaal” in Berlin, has amazing acoustics, Marek Weber and his Orchestra recorded lots of songs there

[@jourwalis-8875]

@@DasJazzArchiv Thank you very much! Does it still exist?

[@DasJazzArchiv]

Sadly it got destroyed by bombers in 1944

[@roncohen2354]

Happy Feet belonged to those who were fortunate enough to exit Germany when Hitler became Chancellor in Germany, 1933.

I can only hope these guys played the Overlook Hotel.

[@DasJazzArchiv]

They did play the masquerade from the shining soundtrack
