Andrej Hermlin & His Swing Dance Orchestra: The Story of Jazz – From Ragtime to Swing

With "The Story of Jazz" Andrej Hermlin and his Swing Dance Orchestra span a wide musical arc, in which all the stylistic genres of jazz are presented. They invite you on a musical journey to the beginnings and the pioneers of American jazz, ringing the tones of gospel, unforgettable jazz hits, as well as some truly rare tunes. From Scott Joplin's ragtime to Louis Armstrong's oldtme jazz, all the way to Benny Goodman's swing, they present the pearls of the first 50 years of jazz history, some of which had to be transcribed from the original recordings.
