Dr. Harry Osten Mit Seinem Orchester

name for the dance band of the conductor and composer Harry Osten, who, then in 1932, has just moved with his whole orchestra from Berlin to Prague. The proper name of this musician, born in northern Moravia, was Siegfried Grzyb - in Czech language sometimes also Vítězslav Grzyb or Hřib. His band was presented on labels of Ultraphon records with Czech recordings as „Alcron Jazz“. This title was inspired by the exquisite Prague hotel of the same name, where Osten’s band regularly performed during the years of 1932 to1938.
