Monty was far and away the better clarinet player. Acker was far and away the better entertainer. I chatted to Monty after a gig his band did in Nottingham. He came across as a really nice, down to earth guy.This was one of the first records I ever bought and I still love it!
Agreed I think Monty just shaded it When he broke away from Chris Barber he became less popular I remember seeing him at St.Albans Jazz Club with Dick Bishop on banjo brilliant They were not considered a top attraction and cost 3/6d entry Acker was considered worth 7/6d to see and did not appear so regularly
Great instrumental song !!!
This is classic. Its difficult to say whether Monty or Acker are best. So so so good.
