'This great master of the clarinet has to be heard to be believed'

 

Acker Bilk gained worldwide fame with hit singles 'Stranger On The Shore' in 1962 (it stayed in the charts for 55 weeks and was the first number 1 hit in UK and USA simultaneously) and 'Aria' in 1976.   Since that time Acker and his Paramount Jazz Band have firmly established themselves as one of the most successful (and best loved) British jazz bands of all time.

 

In 2001 Acker received an MBE for his services to the music industry, and more recently was awarded by the BBC Jazz Awards for his unique contribution to jazz in the UK. Recent collaborations include concerts/albums with Humphrey Lyttelton, Chris Barber and Van Morrison.

 

 

 

 

In recent years, Acker Bilk has integrated the cream of the the UK's current jazz talent into the band with the introduction of Enrico Tomasso (Trumpet), Ian Bateman (Trombone) and John Day (Bass) to the line-up.

 

The band has a new vitality which is guaranteed to make the band's 2011 dates go with a swing!
