[Dixielandjazz] Swing under NAZIs

[Marek Boym]

While jazz was not officially accepted, according to an article written by
by Georg Lankaster and published in Hans de Koert's blog, Fud Candrix's
Belgian swing band not only played and recorded in Belgium (including with
Django Reihardt - I have the recordings), but also performed in Berlin!
And in Paris.  According to Hans' blog, playing the ST. Louis Blues, albeit
under different title, got him in trouble with the Gestapo, as the number
was recognized by some German officers.
A very good swing band, and Hans offers several recordings.  Unfortunately,
two of the three samples are from badly worn 78's.
Cheers
