Bert Kaempfert & His Orchestra
With A Sound In My Heart / Afrikaan Beat And Other Favorites

Description

Bert Kaempfert was one of the most commercially successful and musically sophisticated bandleaders of the 1960s, the German maestro behind the distinctive ‘Kaempfert sound’ — a warm, swinging blend of big band jazz, lush strings, and irresistible pop melody. This CD brings together two of his classic recordings, pairing ‘With A Sound In My Heart’ with ‘Afrikaan Beat And Other Favorites,’ the latter built around his international hit ‘Afrikaan Beat,’ a track that showcased his gift for weaving exotic rhythmic textures into accessible, elegant orchestrations. Kaempfert’s productions remain a benchmark of the easy listening genre, and this collection captures the effortless sophistication that made him a household name across Europe and America alike…
