Ben Berlin (born Hermann Biek; 1896–1944) was a jazz musician born in Reval (now Tallinn, Estonia) in 1896. He married composer Vera Vinogradova around 1920 and they had two children, Leopold and Nina.[1] Berlin founded the Ben Berlin Dance Orchestra in Germany in 1928, producing records with Deutsche Grammophon[2] such as "Küss mich und morgen vergiss mich" and "Roses of Yesterday".
