Boris on the Bass - A.V.R.O. Dansorkest ~ “Conducted by Hans Mossel”
From the formidable Give the Drummer Some over yonder at WFMU:
Dutch national radio A.V.R.O. launched a dance orchestra in 1935, but it was disbanded after its conductor was implicated in a “minor sex scandal.” A year later a new band was formed under the leadership of clarinetist Henri Emile (Hans) Mossel. Mossel would perish at Auschwitz in 1944.
(pic semi-related, couldn’t find any good images of Mossel and co.)
