Comments
Musician, composer and big band leader noted for his big band arrangements of pop hits. Far more popular in Europe and Asia than in the US, he reportedly sold in excess of a 100 million albums worldwide. The earlier Japanese James Last releases were often released under his real name Hans Last, as he had been well-known in Japan for Alfred Hause's arrangements.
