Ladies and Gentlemen, here is another big hit from overseas, this time it's a popular tango & jazz musician from Poland. Although I don't speak any Polish, I love this song. I am blown away by his voice and his incredible way of projecting emotion through his music. He has become one of my favorite European jazz/tango musicians of the 1920s & 30s!

Adam Aston was a Polish singer, actor and pianist of Jewish origin. He sang in Polish, Hebrew and Yiddish and was one of the most popular artists in Poland of the 1920s and 30s. He often worked with Henryk Wars. He also went under the names Adam Wiński, Adam Stanisław Lewinson, recorded also under names J. Kierski, Adam Winski and Ben-Lewi. He used the name Ben-Lewi when recording in Hebrew.

He debuted at the revue theater (music hall, cabaret) Morskie Oko in Warsaw. He made his first record in 1927; in 1930 he began to work with Henryk Wars at the Morskie Oko cabaret and adopted his stage name of Adam Aston.

He recorded gramophones for Syrena Rekord, Odeon, Parlophon, Columbia, and Lonora, singing as many as 900 songs between 1930-39. He also appeared in two musical comedy films: Dwie Joasie and Manewry miłosne in 1935. He also sang the Polish version of Cheek to Cheek (Polish title: W siódmym niebie - "In Seventh Heaven").

In 1920, he fought in the Polish--Soviet War. After the outbreak of World War II he was evacuated to the east and performed in Lvov, which was then under Soviet occupation. In late 1941, he joined the Polish II Corps of General Anders as part of the Polska Parada cabaret. In 1944, he fought at the Battle of Monte Cassino in Italy. After the war he lived in Johannesburg, South Africa and in 1960 moved to the United Kingdom.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I have.

Best wishes,
Stu
