Leon Golzmann or as he was more commonly known, Dajos Béla (December 19, 1897 – December 5, 1978), was a Russian jazz violinist and bandleader .
Golzmann was born in Kyiv , now part of Ukraine, to a Russian father and Hungarian mother. He served as a soldier during World War I, after which he studied music in Moscow. He then continued his studies in Berlin, where he started playing in local venues. He was contacted by Carl Lindström AG to make recordings and started his own salon orchestra, at which period he changed his name to the more Hungarian-sounding Dajos Béla, Hungarian or Romanian music then being popular in Germany. Along with those of Paul Godwin and Marek Weber , his orchestra became one of the most popular in Germany and gained a high reputation abroad. He played a range of music but for jazz music often recorded under different names, such as The Odeon Five, Mac’s Jazz Orchestra and the Clive Williams Jazzband. - more at Wikipedia
