Exactly my point - Acker Bilk (and Kenny Ball) played a lot of
non-jazz material, in Acker's case - often without swing.  Barber was
a part of the same boom, was reveredby the traddies, but did not play
that kind of material.

Acker Bilk continues playing it with the band.  And the band makes it
a ral jazz number.
Cheers
