Jazz, blues and nostalgia, by Sjaak Roodenburg.
Sun in the Palace: a sunlit episode with Hawaii virtuoso Johnny Wade (’Sunshine of your smile’), Joop Visser (‘Elke morgen gaat de zon op’), Sergio Mendes (‘After sunrise’) and a cool Chet Baker (‘Happy little Sunbeam’).
Eddy Christiani in the years of war (‘Ik zie de zon, al schijnt ze niet’), Woody Guthrie, Ray Charles, and Ray Noble with Doris Day.
From the time of prehistoric music: Bernhard Etté Tanzorchester & Raimund Gessner (‘Grüß mir die Sonne von Italien’), the French operetta singer André Baugé (‘Au soleil du Mexique’) and the Comedian Harmonists (‘Wochenend und Sonnenschein’)
Also the singer who really resembled Billy Eckstine and Al Hibbler: Ernie Andrews (‘Don’t let the sun catch you crying’), trumpetist Ziggy Elman, Roy Fox’s band, and much more sun with Toon Hermans (‘Le Soleil’).
