Our Take

Kenny Ball At The BBC 1957-1962: The Airshot

In a world dominated by slick production and auto-tuned vocals, it's a breath of fresh air to listen to the raw, unfiltered sound of Kenny Ball at the BBC. From 1957 to 1962, Ball and his band served up a deliciously retro mixture of Dixieland jazz and traditional British music that will have you tapping your feet and humming along in no time.

The album kicks off with a rousing rendition of "Samantha" that sets the tone for what's to come. Ball's trumpet playing is infectious, and his band is tight and energetic, adding just the right amount of swing to each track. With classic tunes like "Midnight in Moscow" and "So Do I," this album is a must-have for any fan of traditional jazz.

One of the highlights of the album is the live recording of "The Green Leaves of Summer," which showcases Ball's virtuoso trumpet skills and the band's dynamic interplay. It's a joy to hear them jamming together, feeding off each other's energy and bringing the music to life in a way that only a live performance can.

Overall, Kenny Ball At The BBC 1957-1962: The Airshot is a delightful throwback to a bygone era of music. So sit back, pour yourself a gin and tonic, and let the sounds of Kenny Ball transport you to a smoky jazz club in 1960s London. Trust me, you won't regret it.
