Kenny Ball, de Essex, estuvo a la vanguardia del renacimiento del jazz tradicional que se extendió por el Reino Unido en los años sesenta. Junto con sus contemporáneos Chris Barber y Acker Bilk, Ball se convirtió en un nombre muy conocido, con apariciones regulares en programas de entretenimiento ligero de la televisión británica, como el popular Morecambe And Wise Show de la BBC y el Black And White Minstrel Show. Ball y su banda, Kenny Ball And His Jazzmen, saltaron a la fama cuando su interpretación de la canción Samantha, de Cole Porter, alcanzó el número dos en las listas británicas. El siguiente sencillo, Midnight In Moscow (Medianoche en Moscú), de 1962, vendió más de un millón de copias y sentó las bases de una larga y exitosa carrera en el Reino Unido, con 14 sencillos entre los 50 primeros. Ball And His Jazzmen también disfrutaron de un breve periodo de éxito al otro lado del Atlántico, con tres entradas consecutivas en las listas estadounidenses. Ciudadano honorario de la capital estadounidense del jazz, Nueva Orleans, Ball y su banda fueron invitados a actuar con Louis Armstrong durante su última gira europea. Su popularidad en el Reino Unido puede medirse por el hecho de que fue contratado para tocar en la recepción de la boda del Príncipe Carlos y Lady Diana. Siguió de gira con sus Jazzmen hasta poco antes de su muerte en 2013. Murió de neumonía a los 82 años.
