Notes
In 1940, after the Netherlands became Nazi-occupied territory, Ernst van’t Hoff was ordered to start a big band to play state-approved dance music, but he played some jazz anyway, recording songs such as “Pennsylvania 6-5000” and “In the Mood”. He recorded for Deutsche Grammophon and played at the Delphi Palast in Berlin, but in 1942 he was chastened by the Sicherheitsdienst for playing degenerate music. He was repeatedly taken into custody by the Gestapo and eventually, in April 1944, was dismissed from his post and moved to Belgium.
