Nigel, Louis Davids, indeed, was a famous Dutch vocalist and vaudeville artist, but not really a jazz artist. To be honest - I don't have any CD or LP dedicated with his music. Sorry 'bout that. I know he recorded some tunes with Bert Ambrose Orchestra in 1931 for HMV. I wrote about him, as he made a nice picture disc entitled Wat Een Meisje Weten Moet - a washing powder commercial for Persil at my Keep Swinging blog. You can find it at its link site: http://keepswinging.opweb.nl/weblog.htm >>>> go to < Louis Davids > Hans Jazz .. and more - a weekly blog: http://keepswinging.blogspot.com -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Association for Recorded Sound Discussion List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Namens Nigel Barrett Verzonden: donderdag 22 april 2010 8:27 Aan: [log in to unmask] Onderwerp: Re: [ARSCLIST] Gino Bordin ( 1899-1977) Dear Friends Whilst working at Radio Seychelles 3 years ago,I e mailed 5 Dutch collectors if they knew who could supply me with Louis Davids recordings-have you ever featured him and I hear he recorded at Abbey Road in 1934. I got no answer which was strange to say the least as collectors are normally generous with their help and informational-networkin,myself included.All my vintage jazz mp3 discs streamed at the station 11 hours each disc are free to friends and those interested alike. I have 1 Louis Davids 10 inch l.p. from c.1956 and think his recordings marvellous. Denham Ford,ex-Chairman of the Beecham Society,British Branch once said that what we lack today is variety entertainment of a high quality and how right he was.Louis Davids fitted the bill quite appropriately regarding this shrewed observation.He must have been marvellous in cabaret and is one of the most -neglected great popular recording artists in the whole history of sound and Dutch through and through.
