So sad, another fine musician passes away...RIP Kenny.
I enjoyed the 'trad boom' (Ball, Barber and Bilk, Temperance Seven etc) including not only the pop chart hits like Midnight in Moscow, Summerset, Pasadena etc but also the more 'serious' Dixieland stuff- I have a CD of Kenny and his band and the playing is great all round, and superb on the non-pop stuff.
There was so much great music of many styles around then and in the charts and on radio and TV- late '50's-early '60's- guitar instrumentals, rhythm & blues, rock'n'roll, folk, modern and trad jazz, country, ballads, film and TV themes, comedy etc.
