Trumpeter Kenny Ball was at the height of his popularity in the early 1960s, when he had a big hit in "Midnight in Moscow" and was an active participant in England's trad boom. He has managed to continue working since then, despite the change in musical trends, and this 1990 recording (reissued on a 1998 Jazzology CD) finds Ball playing Dixieland in prime form. Heading a fine septet which also includes trombonist John Bennett, clarinetist Andy Cooper, John Fenner on banjo, and guitar, pianist Hugh Ledigo, bassist John Benson, and drummer Ron Bowden, Ball takes many fine solos and shares occasional vocals with Cooper and Benson. Highlights of the superior set include "At the Jazz Band Ball," "Muskrat Ramble," "Ory's Creole Trombone," and "I Shall Not Be Moved." ~Scott Yanow

I will always love tnis kind of music, even if it's always the same. It's foot stomping good fun music. Makes me smile. The veteran Kenny Ball does it the same way as in 1960, including bad vocal parts. This CD is OK, including two hot covers of Louis Armstrong 1920's songs. Merci.
