Customer Reviews:

One of his best.......2005-01-04

This is one of Bert's top 10 albums (all in the 5 star category)
I'd rank it around number 5 or 6 (he made about 40)
It's perhaps his first great album - his band really came on from here
Who can resist the 'bullet shots' from the brass section or the classic trumpet solos or Ledi Geisler's great bass playing - it's all here.

Perhaps what's more important is there are no turkey's in this album - no 'Rhinestone Cowboy's' or 'Feelings' , giving it a real good feel start to finish.

One of the essential Bert Kaempfert albums........2004-05-02

To own the best of Bert Kaempfert's classics there are several essential albums to acquire, all of which have been reissued by Taragon. To start with, you need their 16 track "Best Of" to get many of the classic Kaempfert singles such as "Wonderland By Night", "Afrikaan Beat", "Strangers In The Night", "The World We Knew" and the best songs from the "That Happy Feeling"/"Swingin' Safari" LP. Next, you need "Christmas Wonderland", for obvious reasons. Next, the two-fer of his two very best albums, "That Latin Feeling" and "Blue Midnight". Follow this with "The Magic Music Of Far Away Places" and finally, this incredible collection entitled "Bye Bye Blues". This album was released at the very peak of Kaempfert's popularity with the 1960s easy listening crowd and showcases the "Kaempfert sound" better than any of his other albums. All of Kaempfert's distinctive trademarks were in place for this album: the thumping bass in perfect synch with the drums, the haunting wordless chorus, and, of course, the trumpet of Fred Moch. These trademarks are evident throughout the title track, "Steady Does It", "It Makes No Difference", "Remember When" and many others on this disc. And no Kaempfert collection is complete without the exotic sounding "Tahitian Sunset". For the completist, it's too bad that Taragon stopped their series of Kaempfert reissues with "The Kaempfert Touch" because one more two-fer of the "Orange Colored Sky" and "Bert Kaempfert Now" LPs would have completed the entire charted output of the bandleader's U.S. catalog.

"Excellent CD Recording of Mr. Kaempfert!!".......2001-04-11

My dad and I really liked this Bert Kaempfert CD "Bye Bye Blues" a lot because it's popular, good sound quality, and best of all, Kaempfert's style on all 12 tracks from the original LP plus 7 bonus tracks including the original version of "Monte Carlo" from the LP "The Magic Music of Far Away Places". Moreover, Mr. Kaempfert gets a lot of ideas from Count Basie and Harry James. I think that this CD "Bye Bye Blues" is excellent, and my dad and I really felt confident with this good recording for a long time.

A Fantastic Recording of Mr. Kaempfert!!.......2001-04-11

I love this Bert Kaempfert's recording of "Bye Bye Blues" because this CD had his ideas he took from Count Basie and Harry James. This is the best CD recording I've ever had, and my dad also liked Mr. Kaempfert's albums. It's the first time I have listen to not only Kaempfert's 12 original tracks on this CD, but added 7 more bonus tracks including the original version of "Monte Carlo", which was taken from his original LP "The Magic Music of Far Away Places". My dad and I really like this popular CD recording very much, and we both feel confident with that CD!!

"Klassic" Kaempfert.......1999-08-07

I have had this album in my collection since it came out in 1966. A trmendous recording, and I am so lucky to now have it in CD version. Perhaps the best one-three combo by Bert! "Bye Bye Blues", "Remember When", and "Let a Smile be Your Umbrella", out of this world especially "Remember When", penned by the master himself. Honorable mention must go to "It Makes No Difference"! Bert, you were great...Bert, you STILL ARE great!!!:-)
