Take a look at this video clip with Bert Kaempfert and his orchestra playing Tuxedo Junction. I really like the soft arrangement.
Wow, that what a call a BIG band. How many people are on the band stand? At least twenty.
Bert Kaempfert isn't very known by the general jazz public but some of his songs are: "L-O-V-E" which was made famous by Nat King Cole and "Strangers in the Night", a hit for Frank Sinatra. In Sweden almost everybody know Bert Kaempfert's song "Swingin' Safari" since it was (and maybe still is) the theme song for the tv quiz show for fifth-graders called "Vi i femman".
Tuxedo junction was written by Erskine Hawkins in 1940.
What do you think of Bert Kaempfert and his orchestra playing Tuxedo Junction? Tell me.
