Mr Acker Bilk

Instead of what I was planning to Blip, this is a mini tribute to a musician who died today, and whose style, passion and performance gave me such huge pleasure (especially when playing with Kenny Ball and Chris Barber).

So with a hastily grabbed shot from an album, I give you...

RIP Mr Acker Bilk, 1929 - 2014, the legend in a waistcoat & bowler who gave us Stranger on the Shore and Creole Jazz
