Jazz meets jive with Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen with The Jive Aces - a two band spectacular. Kenny Ball is a living legend. A national institution and the most successful jazz trumpeter this side of the Atlantic, leading the great Louis Armstrong to call him a genius. His landmark recordings of the ‘60s, such as the million-seller “Midnight in Moscow” catapulted him to worldwide fame and his recent Decca compilation with fellow jazzers Acker Bilk and Chris Barber hit the UK album charts top 10. More information about Kenny Ball is available at his website.
