Biography
Barber/Ball/Bilk are a British traditional jazz trio comprised of trombonist Chris Barber, trumpeter Kenny Ball, and clarinetist Acker Bilk, whose individual recordings were compiled from time to time on joint best-of collections such as At the Jazz Band Ball (1994) and Boaters Bowlers & Bowties (2009). The recordings of Barber (born on April 17, 1930, in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, England), Ball (born on May 22, 1930, in Ilford, Essex, England), and Bilk (born on January 28, 1929, in Pensford, Somerset, England) were first compiled jointly in 1962 on The Best of Ball, Barber & Bilk, which was released in the wake of "Stranger on the Shore." Performed by Mr. Acker Bilk & the Leon Young String Chorale and originally released in October 1961, "Stranger on the Shore" was one of the biggest hits of 1962 in not only the U.K., where it was the best-selling single of the year, but also the U.S., where it topped the Billboard singles chart for a week in May. Even though "Stranger on the Shore" isn't featured on The Best of Ball, Barber & Bilk, which includes songs by Mr. Acker Bilk & His Paramount Jazz Band, Kenny Ball & His Jazzmen, and Chris Barber & His Jazz Band, the song's popularity, along with that of the British traditional jazz movement, propelled the compilation to the top of the U.K. albums chart in September 1962. From time to time over the years, the recordings of Barber, Ball, and Bilk were likewise compiled jointly. At the Jazz Band Ball (1994) is a particularly notable compilation of 1962 recordings drawn from the BBC Archives. In addition, Boaters Bowlers & Bowties (2009) is notable for its double-disc length as well as for its inclusion of "Stranger on the Shore."

Biografía
Barber/Ball/Bilk es un trío de jazz tradicional británico compuesto por el trombonista Chris Barber, el trompetista Kenny Ball y el clarinetista Acker Bilk, cuyas grabaciones individuales se compilaron de vez en cuando en colecciones conjuntas de lo mejor, como At the Jazz Band Ball (1994) y Boaters Bowlers & Bowties (2009). Las grabaciones de Barber (nacido el 17 de abril de 1930, en Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, Inglaterra), Ball (nacido el 22 de mayo de 1930, en Ilford, Essex, Inglaterra) y Bilk (nacido el 28 de enero de 1929, en Pensford, Somerset, Inglaterra) se compilaron conjuntamente por primera vez en 1962 en The Best of Ball, Barber & Bilk, que se publicó a raíz de "Stranger on the Shore". Interpretado por el Sr. Acker Bilk & the Leon Young String Chorale y estrenado originalmente en octubre de 1961, "Stranger on the Shore" fue uno de los mayores éxitos de 1962 no sólo en el Reino Unido, donde fue el single más vendido del año, sino también en los EE.UU., donde encabezó la lista de singles de Billboard durante una semana en mayo. Aunque "Stranger on the Shore" no aparece en The Best of Ball, Barber & Bilk, que incluye canciones de Mr. Acker Bilk & His Paramount Jazz Band, Kenny Ball & His Jazzmen, y Chris Barber & His Jazz Band, la popularidad de la canción, junto con la del movimiento de jazz tradicional británico, impulsó la compilación a lo más alto de la lista de álbumes del Reino Unido en septiembre de 1962. De vez en cuando a lo largo de los años, las grabaciones de Barber, Ball, y Bilk también fueron compiladas conjuntamente. At the Jazz Band Ball (1994) es una compilación particularmente notable de grabaciones de 1962 extraídas de los archivos de la BBC. Además, Boaters Bowlers & Bowties (2009) es notable por su longitud de doble disco así como por su inclusión de "Stranger on the Shore".
