The good news for all music fans is that the Kaempfert Orchestra has been reformed by Tony Fisher, lead trumpet in the Orchestra throughout the 70's, in co-operation with the Kaempfert family in Hamburg, Germany. Tony says " In my 30 years experience playing in almost every orchestra in England and indeed throughout Europe I thought it tragic that all that high quality music was left unheard or performed, so I got together with the Kaempfert family and we jointly decided to re-launch the whole thing, including a new digital album." Keep your eye on your local press and the web site for concerts in your area and you could be in for a rare musical treat.
