Fud Cabdix with his Ts Fud Candrix had the best known Belgian band. In 1928, he made his debut as a soloist with tenor sax on a Berlin recording. Formed his big band in 1936 and was active, and extremely popular for 20 years. From April to August 1942, his band was resident at Berlin's famed Delphi Palace, where Fud's band entertained members of the German armed forces member. It is interesting to note that the 14 instrumentalists, plus singer, played all American Jazz Standards in modern arrangements to the Nazi soldiers all during WWII. Fud had a very good Swing oriented band. Listen to them playing Introducing Mr. Basie, which was recorded on Nov. 22. 1940.
