Fred Böhler
Alfred "Fred" Böhler (July 26, 1912, Zürich - January 10, 1995, Zumikon) was a Swiss jazz keyboardist and bandleader.
Böhler started on violin as a child but later switched to piano. He led his own ensemble starting in 1936, which featured
symphonic jazz. While he recorded most often on piano, he also used Hammond organ
early in a jazz context.
