Captain Cook & seine singenden Saxophone

Captain Cook und Seine Singenden Saxophone was a long-running German easy listening band that took the stage in matching naval midshipman uniforms. More a brand name than anything else, the project was masterminded by producer Günther Behrle. Lineup changes were a regular occurrence affecting not only the supporting personnel but also Captain Cook himself, and as of this writing saxophonist Dr. Thomas Grebel wears the not-so-proverbial epaulets. Like the Mantovani and Ferrante & Teicher albums that are Captain Cook und Seine Singenden Saxophone's obvious antecedents, their records are largely interchangeable, distinguished more by theme than musical approach.
