This recording is a tribute to the Wolverines Jazz Band of Bern, Switzerland, seven of Europe«s finest musicians, who have not only continued as a band for more than three decades but have become an institution that belongs to Bern as much as its famous "bear pit." They are joined for their 35th anniversary celebration by Bob Wilber's New Generation Jazz Band in an enthusiastic, swinging program of traditional jazz demonstrating that "the time of Dixieland is not yet over."
