James Last

James Last veya Hans Last (d. 17 Nisan 1929, Bremen – ö. 9 Haziran 2015, Florida), Alman besteci ve orkestra şefi.

 Biyografi 
Last, piyano çalmayı henüz çocuk iken öğrenmiş ve gençliğinde kontrbasa geçmiştir. 14 yaşında Alman Wehrmacht Bückeburg Askeri Müzik Okulu'na girdi. Nazilerin düşmesinden sonra 1946'da Hans-Gunther Österreich'in Bremen Radyosu Dans Orkestrasına katıldı. 1948'de Last-Becker grubunun başına geçti. 7 yıl performansı boyunca, Alman caz oylamaları ile 3 yıl art arda en iyi basçı seçildi, 1950-1952 arası. Grup dağıldıktan sonra Polydor Plak şirketi ve bazı Avrupa radyo istasyonları için aranjörlük yaptı. Sonraki 10 yıl, Helmut Zacharias, Freddy Quinn, Lolita, Alfred Hause ve Caterina Valente gibi sanatçılara hit parçalarında yardımcı oldu.

Kişisel zamanını Florida ve Almanya arasında geçiren Last, başarısında, eşi ve oğluna yardımlarına büyük yer vermekteydi. Florida'da da yaşamını sürdüren 9 Haziran 2015 tarihinde öldü.
