Kenny Ball is a legend. Probably the greatest test of an artist's success is
his durability. Kenny is now a genuine
institution,
and the most successful jazz trumpet player this side of the
Atlantic. His landmark recordings of the 1960s such as 'Midnight
in
Moscow'
catapulted him to worldwide fame and since then he has become a living
legend. The great Louis Armstrong said of Kenny "
This man is a genius."
The Jive Aces are the UK's
top Jive & Swing band. Renowned for their hot, swinging music and
high-energy stage show, they play songs made famous by such greats as Bobby
Darin, Louis Prima and Sammy Davis Jnr as well
as featuring a selection of superb originals. A sell-out in their own right
at many theatres and the Edinburgh Fringe. The Stage says "Simply
sensational. The Jive Aces manage great freshness yet maintain an authentic
accurate sound."
The show consists of: first half by the Jive
Aces, a twenty minute intermission, then Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen for the
second half. The show ends with Jive Aces coming back on with Kenny for a
sensational finale with both bands.
Note: this is two full bands. I am taking bookings from Autumn 2009 into
2010.
