Paul Godwin Jazz-Symphoniker - Erst trink mit mir ein bisschen Alkohol, mein Schatz, 1928

Paul Godwin’s Jazz-Symphoniker - Erst trink mit mir ein bisschen Alkohol, mein Schatz (First Drink a Little Alcohol With Me, My Darling) Foxtrot mit Refraingesang (Doelle – Egen), Polydor 1928 (Germany) NOTE: Undoubtedly, Paul Godwin’s dance band can be included – along with Dajos Bela, Mitja Nikisch, Ben Berlin, Billy Bartholomew, Die Weintraubs, Efim Schachmeister, Marek Weber and some others - into Top Ten of the hottest and best arranged dance orchestras in the legendary Weimar Berlin of the Roaring Twenties. Born in 1902 in Sosnowiec, Poland as Pinchas Goldfein, one of two sons of the hotel’s owner, Godwin studied music in Warsaw Conservatory in the class of conducting and violin led by the world-famous Polish violinist & conductor Stanisław Barcewicz. He disappointed his professor though, having chosen an exuberant nightlife of Berlin of the 1920s to his virtuoso career in Warsaw, Budapest or Vienna and in the age of 20, Godwin landed in the German capital city. In early 1920s he managed to complete his first successful dance band with which he signed at the Deutsche Grammophon to record current German and international hits for dancing. Due to the variety of their repertoire, his orchestra recorded under various monikers: Tanz-Orchester Godwin, Paul Godwin's Jazz Symphoniker, Paul Godwin-Ensemble, Paul Godwin Weekend-Orchester etc. His band promoted many German popular singers, such as Leo Monosson, Paul Dorn, Marcel Klass. In 1929-1933 he turned to cinema and provided many UFA motion pictures with hugely popular soundtracks. Paul Godwin and his orchestras were enormously popular in Europe at the time: within the ten-year period (1923–1933) nine millions of his records were sold. Shortly before the victory of the Nazi Party in Germany in March 1933, Godwin was lucky to have had his tour in Netherlands, where he stayed for the rest of his life. Arrested by the Germans in 1940, he was also lucky to have survived the Holocaust in the Amsterdam Jewish ghetto, where he was discreetly taken care on by his fan - director of the Philips records. After the war, Godwin formed a classical violin trio with which he performed until the 1970s. He died in 1982 in Driebergen in the Netherlands.
