Last Saturday I went down to Skive, Denmark to hear the James Last Orchestra on the second last concert of their autumn tour of the European continent. I had made an appointment with the management to see Mr Last backstage before the concert. While that was a very pleasant meeting it also gave me the chance to talk to some of the musicians in the band. As mentioned earlier James Last has employed both the Findley brothers in his band for this tour. James Last has his four trumpet players divided creating a sort of "stereo experience" with two trumpets on each flank of the band. Chuck is the lead player on the far left side while his older brother was on the right side of the stage. I approached Bob and told him I was a big TJB fan and remembered him playing with the group in the 70's. He seemed genuiniely pleased and quite surprised because "..that was many years ago" as he said. The brothers were a very positive addition to the James Last orchestra who gave a very inspired perfomance for the crowd of about 5000 at the sold out concert.
Rumours has it that James Last is supposed to tour in the US next fall. If that happens I can reccomend the show, it's a big party!
