Just fantastic , so clear , tight and harmonious, as a touchline judge , I am now hooked. I've never heard of him , why is he not an icon of British music ?

real magic - lets hope for a real new revival : once played with his band as trumpeter (stand in for 2 numbers) in camberley in 60s - what a moment! john pitt

Thanks for posting the video clip, it was great to see Ken playing again after all these years. Do you have any other video clips showing Ken playing?

The Guv'nor and Monty together - New Orleans Jazz as it should be played!

Geoff Downs said to me on one occasion that drummers today were not drummers, but cymbalists. How true - they could certainly build sheds though.

Perfect played music with feelings, melody and heart and (!) instruments! What else do music need? Simply great! Ken is my favourite in New Orleans Jazz and it´s too bad i´d never had the chance to see a concert. Wish i´ve could met him in this world. Well, someday i think, it will be, cause i´m sure, they play this wonderful music up there :-)
