Hermlin received his first piano lessons at the age of seven. After graduating from the Carl von Ossietzky High School in Berlin-Pankow, he studied piano from 1986 to 1990 at the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music in Berlin . He learned the swing style he played by himself . In 1986 he founded the Swing Dance Band , which became the Swing Dance Orchestra in 1995 , of which he has been the band leader ever since. So far (as of 2014) Hermlin has released more than ten CDs with this formation and has performed with it regularly, both nationally and internationally. The Swing Dance Orchestraplays swing in the style of the 1930s, partly with original equipment, such as consoles from that time, and mostly unamplified only the singing is amplified and recorded with microphones with a historical look (but modern inner workings). Andrej Hermlin became known beyond his music when he was arrested after the 2008 presidential election in Kenya on suspicion of terrorism. Hermlin had previously supported the democracy movement and candidate Raila Odinga , with whom he is friends. In the village of Thumaita, 130 kilometers from Nairobi , he and his wife Joyce built an art deco style house.

He is involved in the community, wired the village , had street lamps installed and organized the garbage collection . Due to the reforms in the party and as a supporter of Gorbachev , Hermlin joined the PDS in February 1990 "when everyone else had left". For a time he was a member of the Berlin State Executive of the PDS and a candidate for the House of Representatives . He has been a member of the Left Party since it was formed and regularly appears at their events. Due to his interest in historical aviation , Hermlin supported a referendum by the Berlin CDU in 2007 to keep Tempelhof Airport open . With me you are beautifulHermlin specially designed a program of swing pieces by Jewish musicians to protest anti-Semitism. Hermlin and his wife Joyce have two children. His son David Hermlin and daughter Rachel Hermlin perform as singers and dancers with their father's orchestra. Andrej Hermlin lives in Berlin-Niederschönhausen in the house where his father lived and where he grew up. The equipment of the house is at the level of 1927, but modernized. The furniture dates from the period 1930-1960. The Biermann affair had begun in the living room of the house. Hermlin's father Stephan had written a petition against the expatriation, which had been signed by twelve people in the living room.https://de-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Andrej_Hermlin

The Swing Dance Orchestra is a multinational orchestra in big band format from Berlin , which mainly plays swing in the style of the 1930s; its predecessor was founded as a quintet in 1986 by Andrej Hermlin (band leader) with four other musicians. The first rehearsals of the quintet, which was still called the Swing Dance Band at the time, took place in a father's garage. The first appearance took place in the spring of 1987 in what was then the construction workers' youth club with a repertoire of 15 titles. In 1995 today's formation was created. https://second.wiki/wiki/swing_dance_orchestra

Al Grey's trademark phrases and often humorous use of the plunger mute long made him quite distinctive. After getting out of the service, he was with the orchestras of Benny Carter (1945-1946), Jimmie Lunceford (1946-1947), Lucky Millinder, and Lionel Hampton (off and on during 1948-1953). Grey was a well-featured soloist with the classic Dizzy Gillespie globetrotting orchestra during 1956-1957 (taking an exciting solo at the 1957 Newport Jazz Festival on a blazing version of "Cool Breeze"). He was with Count Basie's orchestra on three separate occasions (1957-1961, 1964-1966, and 1971-1977), led a band with Billy Mitchell in the early '60s, and had a group with Jimmy Forrest after leaving Basie in 1977. In later years, Grey performed and recorded often with Clark Terry, made a CD with the Statesmen of Jazz, and for a time led a quintet that featured his son Mike Grey on second trombone. Al Grey recorded as a leader for Argo (1959-1964), Tangerine, Black & Blue, Stash, Chiaroscuro, and Capri, and co-led an excellent Pablo date in 1983 with J.J. Johnson. He died of complications from diabetes on March 24, 2000.~Scott Yanow https://www.allmusic.com/artist/al-grey-mn0000931891/biography
