Description

Saxophon-Orchester Dobbri - Tausend Worte Liebe (Thousand Words of Love) Slow-Fox (Willy Engelberger) mit Gesang: Max Mensing, Parlophon 1929 (Germany)

NOTE: There’s no doubt that Saxophon-Orchester Dobbri was one of the best dance bands in the Weimar Republic. Founded in the mid-1920s as the house-band for the Carl Lindstroem Concern labels (Beka, Parlophon, Odeon & Gloria) and led by the German renowned orchestra leader Otto Dobrindt, it recorded for Beka under the names of Saxophon Orchester Dobbri and the Bohème Orchester, for Odeon as the Odeon-Tanz-Orchester and for Gloria as Eric Harden’s Tanz Orchester. It however never performed in public, leaving its activity merely to recording commercial performances for dancing. Therefore – as pure examples of true Roaring 20s’ sound of Berlin, the Otto Dobrindt’s band’s recordings are very much valued to this day.
