Teddy Stauffer und seine original Teddies Never In A Million Years 1936-1939 (2-CD)

(Bob's Music) 49 tracks 1937-39

Ernest Henry Stauffer was Swiss, born in Murten on 2.5.1909, but he became famous in the three years from 1936 to 1939, when he made his legendary recordings for the German Telefunkenplatte. I can't claim that as a soloist on the tenor saxophone and certainly not on the violin he showed special qualities as a swing musician. It was more likely that his casual elegant appearance, his British clothes and especially his excellent band, the Original Teddies, inspired the swing youth.

After all, even today, after so many years, it still makes many a contemporary's eyes glow. On 27.8.1991 Teddy Stauffer's life ended in Acapulco, a seaside resort in Mexico. This year is the tenth anniversary of this day and I would like to take this opportunity to remember Teddy Stauffer and his Ori-ginal Teddies with this double CD. Please don't be bothered by the background noises; his records were made to be played. There's no getting around the fact that they were damaged in the process. I am not a friend of digital noise removal, because something of the music always falls by the wayside. So enjoy the Swing Teddy Stauffers in a nostalgic crackling sound.
