„Strangers In The Night–The Music Of Bert Kaempfert“–The Berlin Jazz Orchestra & Special Guests live
„Strangers In The Night–The Music Of Bert Kaempfert“ – The Berlin Jazz Orchestra & Special Guests, conducted by Jiggs Whigham Concert of February 12, 2008, Alte Oper in Frankfurt am Main ----------------- Der 40. Geburtstag des Welthits „Strangers In The Night” war Grund genug, den Komponisten und Soundschöpfer Bert Kaempfert, gebührend zu feiern. Eine Hommage an seine Musik wurde nach seinem frühen Tod im Jahr 1980 in den Jahren 2006 und 2008 in 10 auserwählten großen Konzerthallen erstmals wieder live präsentiert. Jiggs Whigham übernahm die Musikalische Leitung und das Dirigat für die Konzerte. Jörg Achim Keller schrieb neue Arrangements der weltbekannten Kompositionen von Bert Kaempfert sowie die Transkription der Original-Arrangements von Bert Kaempfert. Die legendäre Besetzung der Solisten, die bereits im Orchester von Bert Kaempfert mitspielten, ist durch den Filmmitschnitt des Konzertes am 12.02.2008 inzwischen ein historisches Dokument: Ack van Rooyen (Flügelhorn/Trompete), Herb Geller (Saxophon/Flöte), Jiggs Whigham (Posaune), Ladi Geisler (Bassgitarre) und die schwedische Sängerin Sylvia Vrethammar, die 1979 von Bert Kaempfert als Gaststar für seine Live- und TV-Konzerte auserwählt wurde. Weitere Special Guests sorgten für ein abwechslungsreiches Programm und den authentischen typischen Kaempfert-Sound: Das „Berlin Jazz Orchestra“, die Streichergruppe „Frankfurt Strings“ und der Chor „Berlin Voices“. Der Sänger Marc Secara beweist, dass Bert Kaempferts Musik zeitlos und generationsübergreifend ist. Publikumsliebling Joja Wendt, Pianist und Entertainer, agierte als Solist am Grand Piano und führte auf seine charmante Art durch den Abend. ----------------- The 40th anniversary of the global hit 'Strangers In The Night' provided the perfect occasion to celebrate the remarkable legacy of composer, arranger, and bandleader Bert Kaempfert. In 2006 and 2008, almost three decades after his untimely death in 1980, Bert Kaempfert’s timeless repertoire returned to the concert stage in a special tribute production presented in ten selected major concert halls. Jiggs Whigham served as Musical Director and conductor for the concerts. Jörg Achim Keller created new arrangements of Bert Kaempfert’s internationally renowned compositions, as well as transcriptions of his original arrangements. The filmed recording of the concert on February 12, 2008 features the legendary line-up of soloists who had previously performed in Bert Kaempfert’s Orchestra and has since become a valuable historical record: Ack van Rooyen (flugelhorn/trumpet), Herb Geller (saxophone/flute), Jiggs Whigham (trombone), Ladi Geisler (bass guitar), and Swedish singer Sylvia Vrethammar, who was personally chosen by Bert Kaempfert as a guest star for his live and television concerts in 1979. Additional special guests contributed to a varied and entertaining program while capturing the distinctive Kaempfert sound: the Berlin Jazz Orchestra, the string ensemble Frankfurt Strings, and the vocal group Berlin Voices. Singer Marc Secara demonstrates that Bert Kaempfert’s music remains timeless and continues to resonate across generations. Audience favorite Joja Wendt, pianist and entertainer, appeared as featured soloist at the grand piano and guided the audience through the evening with his trademark charm and wit. ----------------- Chapters: 00:00 Intro: Strangers In The Night 00:43 Wonderland By Night 03:47 Medley: Afrikaan Beat, A Swingin‘ Safari, Red Roses For A Blue Lady, Three O’Clock In The Morning 09:40 For Bert – Sylvia Vrethammar 14:21 The Sunny Side Of Life – Joja Wendt 18:31 The World We Knew – Berlin Voices 21:39 Spanish Eyes (Moon Over Naples) – Berlin Voices / Ladi Geisler 26:47 L.O.V.E. – Sylvia Vrethammar 30:51 It Makes No Difference – Sylvia Vrethammar / Marc Secara 34:23 Lonely Is The Name – Marc Secara / Herb Geller 39:00 Bye Bye Blues 42:10 I Love You So – Jiggs Whigham 44:59 A Song For Satch – Ack van Rooyen 47:40 Strangers In The Night – Sylvia Vrethammar / Marc Secara 52:03 You Turned My World Around – Sylvia Vrethammar / Marc Secara 54:54 (You Are) My Way Of Life - Marc Secara 57:54 The Times Will Change – Sylvia Vrethammar 01:00:49 Danke Schoen – All Soloist, Choir and Orchestra ----------------- Setlist 2008: Berlin Jazz Orchestra Special Guests, Instrumental-Soloists: trumpet, flugelhorn: Ack van Rooyen alto saxophone, alto-, bass- & concert flute: Herb Geller trombone: Jiggs Whigham bass-guitar, guitar: Ladi Geisler piano: Joja Wendt Special Guests, Vocal: Sylvia Vrethammar, Marc Secara, Berlin Voices Frankfurt Strings: Mareike Niemz (Contractor) ----------------- Credits: Video-/Photo-Design: G2 Baraniak Concert-Recording: scopas medien AG Audio-Recording: Big Mama Studios Premastering: Milian Mastering, Maximilian Hardinghaus Producer: Bert Kaempfert Music Publishing GmbH
