Erwin Schulhoff (8 June 1894 – 18 August 1942) was a Czech composer and pianist. Schulhoff's teachers teachers included Claude Debussy, Max Reger, Fritz Steinbach, and Willi Thern. Schulhoff's music went through a number of distinct stylistic periods. He was one of the first generation of classical composers to find inspiration in the rhythms of jazz. Schulhoff was one of the figures in the generation of European musicians whose successful careers were prematurely terminated by the rise of the Nazi regime in Germany and whose works have been rarely noted or performed.

The Ebony Band was founded in 1990 by Werner Herbers. Its core is made up of musicians from the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. The ensemble specializes in modern, adventurous music primarily from the first half of the 20th century. Special attention is focused on the forgotten music of lesser known composers, deemed to be worthy of revival. The Ebony Band devoted many programs to German and Czech music at the time of the Weimar Republic, which the nazis called ‘degenerated music’. Many of the ensembles recordings have been awarded prizes: Edisons, Gramophone’s Editors Choice, Diapason d’Or.
