Title: A good collection of hard-to-find German 20s dance music
Product review: Though it's not a "best of" collection, it's definitely a good set of music pieces recorded by Paul Godwin & his Orchestra in 1928-32, the golden era of German dance hall music.Paul Godwin (1902-1982) was mostly a violin player. In the mid-1920's he formed a small dance orchestra in Berlin and recorded a countless number of records for European labels. His orchestra played current pop and jazz hits (strickly style-labeled: foxtrot, waltz, tango etc.), longtime favourites and occasionally classical pieces (after he left Germany for good, in 1933, he played only classical music with his violin trio in Holland).Although Paul Godwin's orchestra backed up alot of singers on records here only instrumental tracks are represented. The sound quality is neat.Be aware it's French import, so all the information in the booklet is in French.
