The record
A tight, multi-instrumental sextet session cut over two December days in 1955, with Höllerhagen's clarinet lending a swing-era pedigree to Osterwald's continental dance-hall sensibility. A rare document of Switzerland's own jazz scene, doubling horns for vibes and accordion with easy showmanship.
