Great clarinetist but this guy was born in 1929.
Not bad to be still playing jazz in public at 82. Dave T |

I saw him back in the 60s and yes it was a good show. What he's like now I don't know but if I lived on the island I would probably give it a go.

My Gran and Grampa loved Acker Bilk. I used to store one of my drum kits in there spare room and every now and then i would put Stranger on the shore on turn it up real loud and lay down a smooth swing beat over the top of it. They loved it..
