Kenny Ball & His Jazzmen - The Green Leaves of Summer download song

I think John Bennett. He was with Kenny from more or less the start - right up until Kenny passed recently.

thanks for all the great music and memories Kenny. R I P.

Sinisterly, his body was not cold before a piece I put up in stereo of four of his greatest hits got TORN DOWN. This piece remains (for the moment) as it was LIVE...

I saw him at the Wood Green jazz club in the 50's. Where Dick Charles and the City Gents and so many others appeared. Dancing the Onions !! OMG where does time go. Thanks for all the music Kenny. RIP xx

Kenny and the boys dressed in 60s suits doing dixie jazz and the Beatles thunderstorm just around the corner. They weathered that storm though and remained popular. The first I knew of them was on a BBC themes record of them playing the theme: "Saturday Night At the Mill". It was the best thing on the record and I was hooked.

It will always be summer even in the depths of our cold winter.

Rest in peace, Kenny. Some of the finest Dixieland I've ever heard, even though it is from across the pond :-)

Rest In Peace....Forever in my memory!!!

This was real Music...Kenny Ball was our best band.

What a brilliant, skilled group of fantastic musicians, I defy anyone who won’t tap their feet at songs like this

I once rode on one of those - but YEARS after their days with trad jazz bands on the top. This trip was arranged by Chris Carey (Spangles Muldoon) to visit Radio Caroline - a journey for which the RIVER boat was TOTALLY unsuitable for. Of course, Chris is no more and Caroline's sunk, as well...

more good music from Kenny ball this was also the background music in the film the Alamo which starred john waine

Never missed his shows back in the day, though just a kid, I really appreciated him, sad loss to the jazz and music world, RIP legend Kenny, we will never forget you!

Green leaves of Summer..one of my most favourite memories,,,Thank you Kenny and Band.

His 3rd hit in the 60s. RIP Kenny but your music lives on forever.

Yes, in the Fifties, Britain "reinvented" Skiffle and Dixieland - and produced music that was (sort of) original. I'm retired to Thailand and here, the Thais have done the same thing with western Seventies soft rock!
