Midnight in Moscow
by Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen
On hearing the sad news of the passing of Kenny Ball today, our dear notjustmum played this as a tribute. We both remarked that this was a sound we grew up with and, as they were regular guests on the Morcambe & Wise shows on BBC tv, a sight very familiar to us.
My dad was a trad jazz man... Chris Barber in particular... but Kenny Ball would do and he was a regular on the radio and telly throughout the 60s and well into the 70s.
A hit for Kenny and the boys in 1961, but sounding as fresh today as it ever did. A great foot-tapping, dance inducing tune guaranteed to put a smile on your face and will have you singing or whistling it all day long.

My dad was a big Chris Barber fan too. Barber used to play a charity concert every year at our school and my dad got to know him. Kenny Ball and Chris Barber were also one of the sounds of my childhood. Must be an age thing!
