Paul Kuhn & SFB Big Band - Pop à la Swing (1975)

The album "Pop à la Swing," released in 1975 by the legendary German pianist, conductor, and singer Paul Kuhn and the renowned SFB Big Band, is a brilliant example of European orchestral crossover in the mid-1970s.

During this period, Paul Kuhn led the SFB (Sender Freies Berlin) orchestra and actively experimented with its repertoire, translating contemporary pop and pop hits into the language of classical swing.

The album "Pop à la Swing" is a perfect monument to an era when the line between popular music and jazz was blurred, and Europe's leading orchestras could transform any radio song into a high-class jazz show. This release is a must-listen for fans of classic big bands (in the spirit of James Last or Bert Kaempfert) and the nostalgic retro sound of the 70s.
