What a joy to listen to, and watch, this. The look an Acker's face at 3 minutes when George Lewis plays one of his typical runs is just a delight as is Acker's reaction at the end. Yes, George Lewis was a master, but so of course was Acker Bilk. The rest of the band are also on top form, the string bass playing is just wonderful. Thank you so much for posting this piece of art.

Jazz is so soulful. It’s amazing
I didn't know that Mr. Acker Bilk played with George Lewis. What a beautiful clip!! I am fan of both musicians.
Master and pupil playing together - beautiful! Acker must have been totally chuffed. I hear Lewis in the late 50s and it was superb.
Wonderful to be able to listen to those no longer with us. Great music.
Wonderfully sublime and mellow. Smooth and poignantly beautiful. So full of emotion, uplifting the soul to heaven ♡
Beautiful. Wish I could have shown this to my late father who was a huge George Lewis fan. Maybe he saw it in 1965...I'll never know!
It is a wonderful melody.
The soft performance is splendid.
ein Super Titel , toller Vortrag , einfach nur schön ! ! !
They play great together. I could listen to this all night!
BEAUTIFUL JAZZZZZZ!!!WHEN ACKER WAS AT HIS PEAK,AND WHAT BETTER CLARINETIST COULD HE HAVE PLAYED WITH.MAGIC.
WOW
Amazing music from two superstars of the clarinet.
Well done.

Robert ? Ernie Price Bass? Roy james Banjo ? Knew them well.
This is MUSIC!
I like this music.
Yes, I saw Acker's 60s band three times in NZ - with your dad Ron... always a good swinger :)

Top tracks of each.........live Burgundy Street Blues by Lewis on YT......Aria by Bilk, also on YT...you won't play these sublime tracks only once!
We tend to forget what a great harmoniser Acker was. I still think he was very mush under-estimated.
Have to agree with that observation.......
