Ladi Geisler performed alongside international stars and brought his considerable skills to bear as a studio musician at productions beyond number. He made his career as a soloist, was the recipient of many an award and gave of his time to several institutions. And, above all, it was his unforgettable “Knack-Bass”, that percussive bass sound, which played such a significant role in characterizing the Bert Kaempfert sound.
Until his passing, Ladi enjoyed life both offstage as well as onstage with his guitar – making music was, without a doubt, his very lifeblood!

As a connoisseur of Bert Kaempfert’s musical world, Marc Secara has chosen not to sing any of the maestro’s hits. Instead, this CD features songs from Kaempfert’s repertoire that are less well-known or to date have been heard “only” as instrumental versions.
The music has been so arranged as to lend it a rich and luxurious quality. Accompanied by a large band Secara swings and croons his way through twelve Kaempfert’s songs, songs that will rapidly become new evergreens.
