Benjamin Anzelevitz (May 30, 1891 – October 20, 1943), known professionally as Ben Bernie, was an American jazz violinist, bandleader, and radio personality, often introduced as "The Old Maestro". He was noted for his showmanship and memorable bits of snappy dialogue, being part of the first generation of American popular music stars, alongside other artists such as Paul Whiteman (a fellow violinist and bandleader), Ted Lewis, and Al Jolson.
