How Awesome to be able to hear this great musician through my computer!!

[TralfazConstruction]

Clever musical phrasing, a signature sound, talented and to 'seal-the-deal' his distinctive look.

[Gluepack]

Very nice but I still prefer the Kenny Ball version with Dave Jones on clarinet...Pye LP NJL28 or PLP1086... one of my top 20 songs/tunes of all genres heard in my lifetime.

What a player!

I saw Acker Bilk and his Paramount Jazz Band back in 1964, in Gothenburg's Concert Hall.  A Great Concert!

I certainly wasn't brought up on Acker Bilk, but I've heard of him through my parents. That instrumental was simply amazing. How can anyone play like that?

[pejoratoo]

The best jazz clarinetist in the world!
