50 YEARS LATER
In 1959 "Max" Sterrer purchased a Selmer clarinet with the help of Maxim SAURY from the Caveau de la Huchette in Paris, which we picked up during our Paris stay in 1960.
He subsequently entered a career as marine biologist in Bermuda and recently moved to Kent.
Dr. Dr. Eckhart Weikmann gave up the vibraphone and now plays the guitar, writes poems and lives in a resort in Burgenland (Austria), where he is/was also the head of the hospital ("Primarius")
Listen Wolfgang "Max" Sterrer still playing his clarinet in 2010

Our decimated jazz band in Vienna
(after graduation split us all up)
from left to right:
Peter ("Pan") Panholzer, piano
Thomas Lauringer (clarinet)
[not remembered] (bass)
Gerald ("Gerd") Raisp (drums) not visible
Thomas Lauringer's family were refugees from Budapest after the Hungarian Uprising and the Russian invasion in 1956
I played on upright piano (in Austrian: 'Pianino') of Fritz & Sohn, established in 1801, featuring 'Wiener Mechanik' with more direct action of the hammer to the strings. The 'Wiener Mechanik' with its harder sound was more suitable for playing expressive jazz.
