Have a ball with Kenny - By: Mr. R. B. Ager, 28 Nov 2003
Kenny Ball, along with his mates & rivals Acker Bilk & Chris Barber, brought trad jazz to the British public consciencein the 1960s. Kenny's forte was to give the treatment, with tongue firmlyin cheek (difficult when playing the trumpet!), to all sorts of popular songs of the time. Nothing was sacred - Cole Porter, Mozart, The Beatles, Walt Disney - & as a consequence his band was a regularin the Top 20 charts.

This collection contains all the hits, all original recordings & sounding amazingly sprightly for their age. The music has no pretentions, just to have fun & sound good - you may find yourself whistling or singing along to some of them.
