Audio CD: My Heart is a Jazz Band	A Jewish musician’s rare recordings, 1927 – 1938, playing time:70 minutes Dol Dauber and his Orchestras Continuing in its association with record collector, Gabriel Gössel, the Jewish Museum in Prague has just brought out on CD of unique recordings of orchestras led by the hugely talented and versatile musician Dol Dauber. The title is My Heart is a Jazz Band, which is also the title of the first track. These days, Dol Dauber (1894-1950), whose 110th anniversary is being commemorated this year, is a name that will probably be recognized only by the older generation. In the history of popular music, however, he remains a shining light. This Jewish composer, arranger and prominent interpreter of popular music, composer of songs, operettas and film music, jazz pioneer, and, above all, violin virtuoso went through periods of fame and of steep decline during his relatively short life. After a classical education he began to focus on jazz and came to direct various salon orchestras and swing bands with which he enjoyed great success. This CD includes 23 pieces performed in 1927-38 in Berlin and Prague. The music is very broad in range and also comprises several titles composed by Dol Dauber himself, such as songs from the film Hearth Without Fire performed by Hana Vítová and R. A. Dvorský.
