Thanks John
- I was beginning to feel adrift in all these 'purists', and meant what I said about (quote) "Sophisticated he ain't, good-time jazzer he certainly is ! I was playing his 'Stranger on the shore' in school concerts in the early 60's, trying to emulate his tone, accompanied by a bemused classical pianist...."
I spent my teens listening to the likes of Ball, Barber & Bilk in UK West-Country jazz clubs and wouldn't have missed it for anything. Can still taste the atmosphere, and the cider. Good on yer, mate !
Regards, Alan
