Thanks for drawing my attention to this one: never heard of him, despite trying to track down Eastern European oddness these past few years...& as the missing link between Raymond Scott/Perrey-Kingsley/Esquivel this guy has the oddness in shovels-ful. Always figured the swinging Moscow stuff was out there somewhere...just never found it.
