    Bert Kaempfert truly was a genius! To arrange and conduct all those different instruments in a way that's both cohesive and logical and yet making the listener engaged and excited at the same time! I also love how he makes background vocals an intricate part of the arrangement! It's one of his trademarks. Love this guy!!

      I also grew up listening to the Swingin' Safari and the album by that name. In fact, I still have the album and sadly don't have a turntable anymore. Not to be daunted, I now have the CD and also downloads. That said, Bert Kaempfert surely seems to be having a blast conducting the orchestra. In fact, if I didn't know better, I'd say he was faking it. But that was his style. Thanks to whoever uploaded this. I really wish I could see it in 1080. Thanks anyway.

    091622/1422h PST 🇺🇸 ahhh the nostalgia….I, first heard Bert Kaempfert way back in 1967. I bought the 33.33 RPM from a secondhand shop in Bangalore, India. I, still have it and is played on my GRUNDIG, even now. After 55 years Bert , still lives in my heart. Life was great those days.
    But now………….? Thank you for publishing these great Orchestras….

    Bert Kaempfert morreu aos 56 anos em 1980. Contudo suas características de uma condução de gestos leves, um ensaio de dança, ausência da batuta e o seu dedinho são fantásticos! Vale ressaltar o talento de sua orquestra escolhida a dedo, com grandes músicos, que eram renomes em cada instrumento. Ela tocava sem precisar de um maestro! Bert Kaempfert era apenas um lider!

As far as I know they released one CD so far ("Music of a Legend") but they've performed with the orchestra at several locations in the UK and in some other European countries.
