Jazz, blues and nostalgia.
One hour long Dutch winners and curios from the thirties. With the most popular Dutch band of that time, The Ramblers (in those days one of the finest big jazz orchestras in Europe), the suffering of oiler Nelis, who pledged his radio to buy a decayed T-Ford, sung by Louis Davids, guitarist Jan Mol who was able to create the atmosphere of the Hot Club de France, the Tilburg ‘singer-humorist’ August de Laat, swing by the Red Debroy’s Swingers, Lou Bandy, who sang sunny songs, but caused a scandal at the funeral of his brother Willy Derby and came to a miserable end himself. Two winners when it comes to crooning: the obscure Topy Glerum and the early stopped Jan de Vries. And also: Johnny & Jones, ‘the Dutch Coleman Hawkins’ Piet van Dijk, also Hawkins himself, together with Benny Carter and Freddy Johnson, Cor Steyn on the City movie theater organ and the suffering of waiting for a tram that is always late, expressed by comedian Herman Tholen.
