alter
Jurmann, the man behind some of the most popular songs
of the twenties and thirties—melodies that practically
sing themselves.
Just as Jurmann's life bridged the geographic and cultural divides between Europe and America, so does his music bridge the worlds of evocative Viennese waltzes, cheeky Berlin Schlager, melting Parisian chansons, and American jazz and pop.

- "This man defined the music of the thirties" - Günther Schifter
- "Jurmann's music…goes direct from the ear to the heart" - Carlos Alvarez
