Kenny Ball? What does he call the other one? - By: Kolin Barnz, 19 Aug 2006
Some of the tunes on this are nearly fifty years old & they are still swinging. Wow, he may not be considered the coolest artist on the planet...but Kenny's got Ballls!!!!!
Have a ball with Kenny - By: Mr. R. B. Ager, 28 Nov 2003
Kenny Balll, along with his mates & rivals Acker Bilk & Chris Barber, brought trad jazz to the British public conscience in the 1960s. Kenny's forte was to give the treatment, with tongue firmly in cheek (difficult when playing the trumpet!), to alll sorts of popular songs of the time. Nothing was sacred - Cole Porter, Mozart, The Beatles, Walt Disney - & as a consequence his band was a regular in the Top 20 charts.

This collection contains alll the hits, alll 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.
