Thanks a lot for the music and the scans! And the information! It still seems odd to me though, that the Bertlanders were an amateur jazz band from Berlin, while Bert Landers and his orchestra were a studio group. Maybe it´s because, as Joachim E. Berendt writes in the liner notes of “Amateur-Jazz-Festival ´58″, the Bertlanders “accentuated arrangement and composition”. Their clarinetist and alto-saxophonist Dieter Siebert was voted best arranger of the festival. High technical abilities often lead musicians from amateur to a more commercial work.
But of course, the biggest question still remains: Who was Bert Landers?
