AN ULTRA-RARE GERMAN JAZZ 78 ON THE SCHALLPLATTE "GRAMMOPHONE" LABEL FROM ERIC BORCHARD'S JAZZBAND
Eric Borchard (b 27. August 1886 in Berlin; † 21. Dezember 1934 in Straßburg) war Klarinettist und Bandleader. Er gilt als deutscher Jazzpionier.
Borchard gründete 1919 die erste deutsche Band, Eric Concerto's Yankee Jazz Band, die (nach eigenem Bekunden) "auf einigermaßen kompetente Weise" Jazz zu spielen vermochte und nach dem Vorbild von Dixieland Jazzbands aus den USA spielte. Diesem Stil blieb er auch treu, als er ab 1922 Eric Borchard's Atlantic Jazz Band leitete, der auch der afro-amerikanische Posaunist Earl Granstaff angehörte.
Außer der Musik seiner amerikanischen Vorbilder eignete sich Borchard auch deren Lebensstil an; nach Skandalen um Drogen und Frauen beging er 1934 Selbstmord.
As early as the 1920s, the clarinetist and saxophonist Eric Borchard played his own recordings, which were comparable to those of the American jazz greats. But from 1920 to 1923, due to both economic turmoil and inflation, larger German jazz orchestras that played the new jazz dances were a rarity. Initially, a trio with a pianist, a drummer and a "Stehgeiger" (standing violinist), who also played the saxophone, was most common. Only after 1924 an economic stability was achieved, and an economic basis for larger dance orchestras was possible, like those founded by Bernard Etté, Dajos Béla, Marek Weber and Stefan Weintraub. It was the predominant element of improvisation that lacked understanding in Germany, where people had always played concrete written notes; Marek Weber, for example, demonstratively left the podium if its nightly band played jazz interludes.
In 1920-23, there was a period of economic turbulence and inflation in Germany, until 1924 when the market stabilized and money was invested in entertainment. Consequently, the mid 1920s brought forth a growth of larger bands who agreed to play jazz music. The two most popular German bands that showed signs of American jazz were Eric Borchard's small combo, and Stefan Weintraub's Syncopators.
