Kenny Ball
and His Jazzmen
 A
Dixieland
jazz-styled band best known
for the instrumental hit Midnight in Moscow.
Among the leading traditional
jazz trumpet players on the eastern side of the Atlantic, arguably
the most successful is Kenny Ball. Kenny achieved worldwide fame for
his recordings in the 1960’s, including Midnight in Moscow which
reached No. 2 in the UK and the US charts and hit worldwide sales
of more than one million copies, the debut hit Samantha and the smash
When I’m 64, all helped make Kenny become a household name.
With no fewer than 20 albums on sale, a Billboard Gold Microphone
Award, more top 30’s in the US than Louis Armstrong, and honorary
citizenship to the city of New Orleans, Kenny Ball is a true legend.
Today, the love of music
inspires Kenny to continue to record, with part of that original band,
John Bennett (trombone), and other members of his current band. In
the Essex countryside setting of his 17th-century home, where he lives
with his wife Michelle, Kenny is a very contented man, who still continues
to produce some timeless, yet refreshing pieces of great jazz!
Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen
are available to be booked for your event, open-air festival or private
function.
