Music is not only heard, it is also seen (Andrej Hermlin).

And so The Swingin' Hermlins stand for the original sound and look of the 1930s. Swing was the music of the Great Depression in the 1930s. Desperate people listened to it because it gave them hope. During the pandemic, Andrej Hermlin and his comrades-in-arms gave a half-hour concert live online every evening at 7 pm from March 2020 to May 2022, in changing small line-ups, with friends, with musicians who love Benny Goodman, or Basie, or Miller, or Lunceford. The band plays - except for the vocals - unamplified, as was customary at the time. Wardrobe, desks, microphones and instruments are originals or perfect copies. Thousands of people around the world now follow their (no longer regular) broadcasts on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram. The first half hour of the concert will also be streamed live at Globe Berlin. https://theswinginhermlins.de/

The line-up changes: Daniel Duspiwa (sax), Jörg von Nolting (cornet), Lars Juling (tb), Gennadij Desatnik (v), David Hermlin (dr), Andrej Hermlin (p), Jack Latimer (g), Malte Tönissen (b). Vocals: Rachel Hermlin, Jack Latimer and David Hermlin.
