The arrival of Trad Jazz as one of the big musical trends coincided with the early days of “Lucky Stars”, and all of the top Trad groups have appeared on the programme at various times. Above, that great man of the clarinet MR. ACKER BILK, who has appeared both with his band and as a solo artist.
KENNY BALL and his JAZZMEN have been one of the few groups to top both British and American charts, and his transatlantic hit ‘Midnight in Moscow’ was an early entry on the show. Each of KENNY’s numbers since that time have been featured on “T.Y.L.S.”
The Trad Jazz scene would not be complete without CHRIS BARBER and his BAND, and of course, CHRIS and the boys have made several musical appearances.
