Walter Jurmann and Bronislaw Kaper were European-born film composers who formed a successful partnership after emigrating to Hollywood in the 1930s. The duo, along with lyricist Gus Kahn, wrote "All God's Chillun Got Rhythm" for singer Ivie Anderson to perform in the Marx Brothers' 1937 film A Day at the Races. The song became a jazz standard. Jurmann, an Austrian, and Kaper, a Polish composer, had first worked together in Berlin before relocating to Paris and eventually Hollywood.
