Kenny Ball And His Jazzmen - Golden Hits (1963) [Complete LP]

[@jamesappleton7390]

Great album. I was Kenny's sound engineer on shows for his last 15 years leading his band but never heard 55 Days in Peking played live. Just out of interest Sukiyaki was named by Petula Clark, who was at Marble Arch Studio at the same time, and suggested the title when they all had a meal together in a Chinese Restaurant in London's Edgeware Road....... thanks for the upload Mark....... Syd....

Kenny played at the strand hotel, portstewart NI in the late 70s. I was there as a teenager and had a ball! What class the jazzmen were

[@FreddyPaine]

Yank here. I know I heard Marble Arch before, maybe from a Stones song. I don't know, so I read the Wiki article. So Petula, who advised us not to sleep in the subway, retitled Ue o Muite Arukou 'Sukiyaki'. I'll call You'll Never Walk Alone 'Spotted Dick'. None the less and irregardless, Moscow by KB is well done and most appreciated. Cheers. Oh, I know, Marble Arch Station was mentioned in London Homesick Blues written by Jerry Jeff Walker and notably recorded by Gary P. Nunn. Look that up in your Funk and Wagnalls.

Glad you liked this one.

[@saxon-mt5by]

This brings back happy memories: I bought the 45rpm single featuring Midnight in Moscow and Sukiyaki - I couldn't afford the LP!

[@marksmusiccollection-jazz4290]

Glad to help rekindle those 1960's memories....

[@RobbenRomano]

First heard Midnight in Moscow while traveling in Norway in the early 70's. It was in a wall jukebox in a small cafe. Great music transcends borders, cultures and time.

This was one of the first LP`s I got in my youth. I´ll never forget this. RIP Kenny Ball

[@michaelvpp994]

Also one of my first LPs. Happy and sad moments - this LP was with me. RIP Kenny

I’m happy to see people outside of the U.S. appreciating jazz! 😀

[@FreddyPaine]

I know it's not Spanish. Portugues? Whatever. Qualquiera. La musica es universal.

[@shirleytucker2430]

Great listening

My intro to a lifelong love of jazz.

[@davedoylecomms5687]

I love this LP so much, I have three copies...

[@marksmusiccollection-jazz4290]

Always good to have back up copies of LP's that are no longer available.

Trad jazz taught us how to Jive in the 50's--60's....good old Bath. UK.

[@dieterzeides9240]

Wonderful album !

[@neilalvares8654]

just wonderful

[@marksmusiccollection-jazz4290]

Glad you liked this one.

[@johnarkle7916]

I saw the '3 B's' a few years ago at the Sage in Gateshead after which we lost Kenny ...... saw them all at the Edinburgh Jazz festival many years before. Sadly, they don't make them like this anymore and Io consider myself fortunate to have seen them.

[@marksmusiccollection-jazz4290]

That would have been a good show.

[@johnarkle7916]

@@marksmusiccollection-jazz4290 It was a brilliant show, and sadly one of Kenny Ball's last appearances before he passed away.

[@juliapashina1426]

Прекрасно!

[@luigivaglio4100]

Bellissimi ricordi !!!

[@marksmusiccollection-jazz4290]

Glad you liked it.

[@RaimoKangasniemi]

This is really good!

[@marksmusiccollection-jazz4290]

Glad you liked it. Had you heard of this band before? If not, glad to introduce you to the late Kenny Ball.

[@stuartofblyth]

First LP I ever bought.

[@Swaggerlot]

Spoke to Paddy Lightfoot on the phone a few months ago, still as sharp as ever!

[@marksmusiccollection-jazz4290]

Is he still playing?

[@Swaggerlot]

@@marksmusiccollection-jazz4290 He may still play the piano, but only for his own amusement. He left the industry in the early eighties.

[@adamlehr8820]

Wow! Has anyone heard of the Jellyroll Jazz Band out in Porter Ranch, San Fernando Valley, California going back to the Seventies and the Eighties?

Legendite na tradicionalniot britanski jazz ne umiraat. Tie se vecni. Se slusaat i denes a ke se slusaat uste dolgo. Jas gi slusam od moeto detstvo i ke gi slusam so najgolemo źadovolstvo i ponatamu. Dusan Stojanovski

[@jimyoung6271]

Frank Johnson was a distant uncle. Luke introduced me to TISM.

[@mariannesouza8326]

Nice! 😀

[@dupont135]

Not the best, but still so good light jazz. Listen to the end, there are actually good versions of classic songs...
