When I was 14 my dad took me to this somewhat salubrious  North London jazz club - it wouldn't be allowed now of course but Dad explained that I was obsessed with Music and the doorman said "OK fine - take it easy Son.....". Kenny played way past closing time - trad English jazz - of course it was all routed in New Orleans and Louis A but imagine how many Brits were exposed to jazz through Kenny.  I'll remember to my dieing day his rendition of Blue Turning Grey Over You.

 

RIP
