Henry Maas : memoir of a creative life
Knox, Eugenie2015
Book
Part memoir and part scrapbook, this book chronicles the artistic life of Australian entertainer Henry Maas. The son of Jewish parents who fled the Nazis and settled in Melbourne’s St. Kilda district, Maas grew up in his parents’ restaurants and nightclubs and eventually became an entertainer and restaurateur in his own right. His greatest success came as a member of the Busby Berkleys, a retro song and dance act that played Europe and New York in the ’80s and ’90s. Later, he was front man for The Bachelors From Prague, a jazz fusion group that released four albums. This memoir makes it abundantly clear that Maas had stage presence to spare and was a potent player in Melbourne’s bustling cultural scene. The book features many photos and posters.
