Jump In The Line/Higher Ground/Willie The Weeper/Gladiolus Rag/Teddy Bear’s Picnic/Hawaiian War Chant/I Love You Samantha/Chimes Blues/Majorca/High Society/Tuxedo Rag/When The Saints Go Marching In

The three most successful British exponents of trad jazz are collected together in this budget release. Within a year the trad era would be over as the new beat groups took centre stage. (UK:1) “Good-time music from the trad boom of the late 1950s and 1960s. For fans of Chris Barber, Kenny Ball and Acker Bilk.”

“I loved this music. The modern stuff doesn't even come close. I became a jazz fan later in life so its great to be able to collect this music now.”

“Ball, Barber & Bilk were three of the best exponents of trad jazz in the late 50s & early 60s.”

“Brings back happy memories of great traditional jazz sessions in the West Country. Having seen these three great artists performing live on many occasions this LP was a 'must have'. Great music.”
