History
Kenny Ball & his Jazzmen was a British trad jazz band led by trumpeter Kenny Ball (born Kenneth Daniel Ball, 22 May 1930, Ilford, Essex, England; died 7 March 2013). Formed in 1958, the band was at the forefront of the early 1960s UK jazz revival.
Ball and his band enjoyed the longest unbroken spell of success for bands of their generation. Their traditional 1960s hits like "Samantha" and "Midnight in Moscow" remain popular in dixieland and trumpet circles. Ball's status rivaled contemporaries Acker Bilk and Chris Barber; while a joint album, The Best of Ball, Barber and Bilk, reached #1 in the UK Albums Chart.
