With sweet swing revival stylings, Intended Immigration’s version of Nena’s classic “99 Luftballons” is a sparkling jazz affair featuring a charming German female vocal and a delightfully swinging violin that turns heartwarmingly sentimental in the outro.

The arrangement is a subtle build with each section moving up by a half step. Fun winds from clarinet to bari sax to cute and bold brass round out the instrumentation giving colorful interpretations to lyrics like “fighter jets” and “fireworks”.
