[Dixielandjazz] More on Kenny Ball

The Kenny Ball band has toured in Australia 17 or 18 times and are huge 
favourites here.

Ken and Bob Barnard are great personal friends too, as well as being 
excellent musical sparring partners.

So it was only natural that on one of Ken's Australian tours that they 
should record together.

And in the mid-70s they did just that - but not just those two, instead 
their complete bands got together in the studio with lots of mixing and 
matching in some wonderful jazz.

The result was an LP entitled, 'The Bulldog And The Kangaroo'.

And it's still a treasured part of my personal collection.

Kind regards,  Eric
