Werner Müller, who took over as director of the RIAS TANZORCHESTER in Berlin in 1949 at the age of just under 30, got the whole of Germany swinging and boogie dancing!

In 1946, RIAS was founded in Berlin, which meant something like "Radio in the American Sector." The Allies placed great value on high-quality entertainment, so it was only natural that a large dance orchestra was soon established. The RIAS Dance Orchestra played under the direction of Werner Müller, and it wasn't long before this combination became a true trademark. "Werner Müller and the RIAS Dance Orchestra" – this term was a unified entity, a permanent fixture among all German entertainment orchestras, which were at the forefront of international music and didn't have to shy away from comparison with American orchestras. Werner Müller and the RIAS Dance Orchestra brought the world of music to Berlin, and the surviving recordings continue to fascinate us to this day. Clear the stage for Werner Müller and the RIAS Dance Orchestra!

Werner Müller
Berlin-based Werner Müller (born 1920) was, alongside Kurt Edelhagen, one of the most well-known jazz orchestra conductors in the 1950s. He played the violin as a child, enrolled at the military music school in Bückeburg in 1936, and was a member of a military music corps during the war. While in American captivity, he discovered swing music and was accepted as a trombonist into Kurt Widmann's orchestra in 1945. Müller achieved his breakthrough in 1949 when he was appointed conductor of the RIAS Dance Orchestra. There, he gathered outstanding musicians like Rolf Kühn around him.

In the 1950s, his sound dominated many recordings, including those for Polydor and Teldec. He accompanied Bully Buhlan, Renée Franke, Gerhard Wendland, Margot Hielscher, Rudi Schuricke, Friedel Hensch and the Cyprys, Lale Andersen, Caterina Valente, and many others. As a composer, he used the pseudonym Heinz Buchholz. In the 1980s, Werner Müller wrote several crime novels. He died in Cologne in 1998.
