Kenny Ball is a living legend. Probably the greatest test of an artist's success is his durability. After 50 years in the business, Kenny is now a national institution and the most successful jazz trumpeter this side of the Atlantic leading the great Louis Armstrong to once say of him "This man is a genius". His landmark recordings of the 1960s, such as “Midnight in Moscow”, catapulted him to worldwide fame and his recent Decca compilation with fellow jazzers Acker Bilk and Chris Barber hit the top 10 in the album charts.
