Great album. I was Kenny's sound engineer on shows for his last 15 years leading his band but never heard 55 Days in Peking played live. Just out of interest Sukiyaki was named by Petula Clark, who was at Marble Arch Studio at the same time, and suggested the title when they all had a meal together in a Chinese Restaurant in London's Edgeware thanks for the upload Syd....

First heard Midnight in Moscow while traveling in Norway in the early 70's. It was in a wall jukebox in a small cafe. Great music transcends borders, cultures and time.

This brings back happy memories: I bought the 45rpm single featuring Midnight in Moscow and Sukiyaki - I couldn't afford the LP!

I saw the '3 B's' a few years ago at the Sage in Gateshead after which we lost Kenny saw them all at the Edinburgh Jazz festival many years before. Sadly, they don't make them like this anymore and Io consider myself fortunate to have seen them.

Wow! Has anyone heard of the Jellyroll Jazz Band out in Porter Ranch, San Fernando Valley, California going back to the Seventies and the Eighties?

Legendite na tradicionalniot britanski jazz ne umiraat. Tie se vecni. Se slusaat i denes a ke se slusaat uste dolgo. Jas gi slusam od moeto detstvo i ke gi slusam so najgolemo źadovolstvo i ponatamu.

Frank Johnson was a distant uncle.
Luke introduced me to TISM.

[dupont]

Not the best, but still so good light jazz. Listen to the end, there are actually good versions of classic songs...
