a tongue i did try to just disappeared for. i. i don't come here to hear that we thought that if we'd gone to the trouble of recording for 3 or 4 days and shooting for 3 or 4 days then it would be a shame if that was the end of this wonderful band and we felt we had to keep playing the music because it's really great the sort of music. shortly before the performance because he collects all the sheet music from the rehearsal space and heads off to buy house berlin a dance hall that was popular back in the 1922. from both produce. a few. cuts his responsibilities as musical director include overseeing the choice of

repertoire and making sure all the musicians have what they need. to do a lot of good people you don't need to tell them much that we really want to play and that's basically the most important thing we all really like doing this so i don't ever have to worry me what now the fun is about to start. this excessively t.v. series has also given the market f.t. orchestra a boost that's about stand up kosky and the other musicians are taking their unexpected success in stride and making big plans for the future. the song so i should tell has stormed the german charts and like all great pop songs it's become a real you're born one whisks us away back to the glamorous nights of a long ago era. i'm joined in the studio now by katherina from finn welcome katherina covering as

a fan of the great jazz age of the 19 twenty's and thirty's she's also a more importantly the banjo player and singer of the rufus temple orchestra we're going to play some hot jazz in just a little while but 1st let's have a look at this trend in day this boom for parties 19 twenties and the ones that katherine attends and often perform is out club nights called. it's like going back in time to the crazy and wild 1920 s. here and. you're going to either of the poem so posh evenings elsewhere adult child has brought back the saturn the stick contents with my music and but then asked concepts. that are.
