The Ramblers In Brussel 1945-1948 Rue Des Radis

 


The Ramblers were a Dutch dance orchestra, formed in 1926 by Theo Uden Masman. They were very popular in The Netherlands with a repertory of jazz and popular tunes, and recorded backing Coleman Hawkins in 1935 and 1937, Benny Carter in 1937 and Freddy Johnson  in 1937-1938.

In 1942 German law forced the group to change its name to Het Dansorkest. The group continued to be led by Masman until 1964, when it changed its name to VARA-Dansorkest (VARA after Verenigde Arbeiders Radio, on which it played) and its repertoire consisted entirely of popular music. In the mid-1980's they were led by Marcel Thielemans.

Other spin-offs of The Ramblers included Het Ramblers Quintet and Het Ramblers Tonette Trio.
