A protege of Benny Goodman's at the end of his life, Hasselgard had a short but eventful career. After coming to the US in 1946 or so, he played with many big names, including Teddy Wilson, Red Norvo, Barbara Carroll, Barney Kessel, Wardell Gray and Goodman himself. These are three sessions issued under Hasselgard's name as well as four airchecks from the Click with the Benny Goodman Septet.
