NOS News • today, 10:09
French police shot dead man who wanted to set fire to Rouen synagogue…

The visible caption on this photo here is ‘ANP’, the in Holland well known almost 100 year old press agency (similar to eg Reuters) distributing news to other professional media like newspapers and our national tv broadcaster .

Annoying … (knowing) you now need to check every news item image (photo/still) of the Dutch national news broadcaster NOS to find out whether that image really is a news photo or actually fake … just an illustration from some archive.

You need to click this image in the post to be able to read the small print additional caption, this is just an archive image (dutch: archiefbeeld) … no news.


I appreciate the excellent NOS public national news broadcaster in the Netherlands. And, using archive footage may help storytelling in documentary work. However, here, watching the NOS site on an iPad or desktop PC, it’s obvious the design of the site creates a problem , since posting a news item requires using at least one image. With no news photo available , the best alternative here appears to be using text for the featured image.

Else, best, show the notice ‘Archive image’ clearly visible at first glance in the post’s image… (?)

Jazzy 1937 Summer Holiday | 20240103


‘Wild’ jazz was used in the August 1937 dutch cinema news reel showing people all over Holland in a rush going on summer holiday. So jazz in those prewar years wasn’t considered ‘entartete’ art and clearly socially acceptable …. ‘salonfähig’… in Holland.

‘Entartete Art’ 1935 – Coleman Hawkins & Leo de la Fuente in Holland | 20231123


‘Entartete Art’ 1935 – Coleman Hawkins & Leo de la Fuente in Holland

American saxophonist Coleman Hawkins announces and plays – accompanied by Leo de la Fuente on piano – on his tenor saxophone ‘I wished that I were twins’.

In 1934, Coleman Hawkins left the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra and Amerika, moved to Europe, and joined the Jack Hylton Orchestra in England. Hylton and his band made regular ‘continental’ tours, and started another European tour January 1935 accompanied by Coleman Hawkins in Holland. At the end of January 1935 Hawkins joins the dutch band The Rambers … for 8 days … because Hawkins was denied entry to Germany because of his race, while Hylton and his band continued their tour without him and play for eight days at the Berlin Philharmonic Hall.

To end this special week with Hawkins well, the bandleader of The Ramblers – Theo Uden Masman – arranged with Decca for recordings 4 february 1935 in Pulchri Studio in The Hague, Holland, including this : I wish I were twins…that was also recorded on film by Polygoon (Polygoontoon) for the dutch cinema news for next week .

Coleman Hawkins is accomponied here on film by the dutch jazz pioneer Leo de la Fuente on piano , playing ‘I wished that I were twins’ . After the recordings, Hawkins moves further into Europe.

Leo – Leonard Henriques – de la Fuente, who was born Jewish in Amsterdam 28 March 1902, was deported by the nazi’s to Auschwitz on 2 November 1942, and died 30 April 1944 ‘somewhere in Mid Europe’.
