BBC Radio 2

2/4. Prior to the arrival of the Beatles in 1962, trad jazz enjoyed success in the pop charts. George Melly recalls this unusual period in interviews with "trad boom" stars Acker Bilk (Stranger on the Shore, 1961) and Kenny Ball , who with his Jazzmen had a 1961 hit with Midnight in Moscow (original title Padmeskoveeye Vietchera ).
