County Farm - Oscar Klein & Philadelphia Jerry Ricks

A clip from a Swiss school TV series produced in the early 1980s intended to introduce young people to jazz and the blues.
Oscar Klein, born in Austria, was a highly talented multi-instrumentalist who played guitar, trumpet, clarinet and harmonica. His career took off in the early sixties when he joined the renowned Dutch Swing College Band.
In the late seventies and early eighties Oscar Klein performed and recorded regularly together with Philadelphia Jerry Ricks, who had made his home in Europe after leaving the USA.

In VERY loving memory of Mr. Philadelphia Jerry Ricks (1940 - 2007 R.I.P. Gone but NOT forgotten).
