Live and act

Jerochnik wrote the song “Kiss Me Blues” in 1926 (with Max Schulmann); in the late 1930s he worked with the violinist Georges Boulanger (“Chant Hindu / Pizzicato”, Odeon O-25949), for whom he also arranged (“Africa”). In 1939 he recorded titles such as “Lüg 'nicht Baby” (A2945, with Eric Helgar ) under his own name ( Oskar Jerochnik with his rhythmic musicians) for Telefunken , as well as an English hit potpourri ( you are listening to London!, A2881). During this time he also wrote hits and popular music such as "Sicilian Rhapsody" and "Annelies: No girl kisses so sweetly".

In 1939/40 he accompanied the singer Helga Wille on titles such as “You go through all my dreams” and “You hear New York” (Telefunken A2916); also the singer Werner Schöne ("Three times a day and three times at night", with Heinrich Riethmüller, Odeon O-31888). He also had a string dance orchestra and a piano duo with Heinrich Riethmüller in Berlin.

In the post-war years he worked as the musical director of theater productions and as a hit and cabaret composer; he wrote numbers like "Mr. Rhythm and Mrs. Melody" and "Hurray, humor is planned"). He also wrote music for plays and radio plays such as Berta Waterstradt's During the Power Lock (1947) and Das Glück Macht nur 'ne Pause (with René Camillo ).
