There's a song, circa 1962, called "A Swingin' Safari" that was
composed by Bert Kaempfert, and performed by Bert Kaempfert and His
Orchestra. Over the past several years, since discovering his music
via a quest to find the afore mentioned song, and which I now have on
a CD of their 'That Happy Feeling' album, I've been noodling with
arranging the song for guitars and drums.
Could an arrangement, such as I've described, be considered a "surf
guitar instrumental," with all of the jazz band winds and horns
arranged to guitars, or would it simply be a '60s swing jazz
instrumental played a la surf guitar style? Once I'm able to begin
recording my original music, I plan to include this song on my first CD.
