20TH CENTURY FOXTROTS • 5
SWITZERLAND

‘An entire album within the frame of "20th Century Foxtrots" dedicated to a relatively small country might come as a surprise for many listeners. But Switzerland with its many talented composers from the 20th century turned out to be a real treasure chest for this ongoing project. I’m very excited to present Vol. 5 with almost exclusively world premiere recordings of Swiss foxtrots, tangos, blues, etc…
This album is full of musical treasures and delicacies, coming from the heart of Europe! My highlights are the three rediscovered pieces by Marguerite Roesgen-Champion and Julien-François Zbinden’s highly compelling Jazz-Sonatina from 1949.’ – Gottlieb Wallisch
