Further info
It is a tribute to his stamina and musical integrity that Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen are as popular today as they were back in 1960 when they had their first chart hit with Samantha.
From that time on, hit after hit came pouring out until the final tally was fourteen top 30 records eclipsing even Kenny's idol the great Louis Armstrong's total - an achievement which has never been equaled by any other jazz artist. Midnight in Moscow was a top two hit in both the UK and the USA.
The band's popularity was further enhanced by their four-year spells on The Morecambe and Wise Show and Saturday Night at the Mill both of which were viewed by millions.
Kenny is identified with great jazz but also wonderful entertainment. Kenny, like Armstrong, believes in making jazz attractive to everyone. His records continue to sell in the hundreds of thousands.
