Description
Bert Kaempfert was one of the most influential figures in easy listening and big band pop, a German bandleader, arranger, and producer whose warm, swinging sound became a defining voice of mid-century popular music — a man who also famously produced the Beatles’ earliest professional recordings. Free And Easy showcases exactly what made Kaempfert’s orchestra so beloved: richly arranged instrumental interpretations delivered with effortless sophistication. Highlights include a sweeping take on Sweet Caroline, a luminous reading of the jazz standard Laura, and the gently rolling title track Free And Easy. Across eighteen tracks, this LP is a fine example of Kaempfert’s gift for transforming familiar melodies into something distinctly, unmistakably his own…
