KAI WARNER
Kai Warner was the stage name of Werner Last - a German bandleader and musician. He is the brother of James Last and Robert Last.
In 1966 he signed a contract as a producer with Polydor; he discovered and produced Renate Kern. As Kai Warner, he started his own orchestra, which included many musicians who played with James Last (such as his brother Robert Last, who had already played drums on the earliest James Last sessions). In 1975, Kai Warner switched from Polydor to Philips.
Besides his LPs like Pops For Minis, Happy Together, Goldtimer 1 and 2, his name is forever linked with the Go-In series, which continued later on Philips under the name Go-In Party. He also made several recordings with his Kai Warner Singers, a mixed choir made up of six women and six men often accompanied only by a rhythm section.

JUNGLE DRUMS
"Jungle drums" is a song written in the 1930's by Cuban composer Ernesto Lecuona. In total Lecuona wrote more than 600 (!) compositions. He also wrote film scores and his music for the 1942 movie "Always in my heart" was nominated for an Academy Award.

MHO
This version of "Jungle drums" with the sound of the sea in the background makes one dream about summer and holidays.... Kai Warner's arrangement puts the emphasis on the rhythm while the melody is being beautifully played on trumpet. Though the instrumentation is basic, Kai Warner (or should we say Werner Last :) always succeeds in his mission to bring entertaining and warm sounding music. Warner (like his brother Hansi (James Last)) had a perfect idea of what kind of orchestral music people wanted to hear in the late sixties and the early seventies. But hé ...... have audience preferences changed that much in the meantime .. ? We think not, and especially Kai Warner and his Orchestra are still widely appreciated by music lovers everywhere.
Enjoy !
