» Keith Ball

» Profile

Keith Ball was born in Ilford, England in the 1960s. The son of legendary jazz musician Kenny Ball, he grew up with a wealth of influences, including swing and jazz, and from a young age music played a huge part in his young life. Keiths vocal is influenced by some of the greatest musicians and singers of our time. The likes of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra and Jack Jones spring to mind when listening to his debut album.

Taking the lead from his father, Keith started playing from a young age, first taking up drums and then trumpet followed by the piano. Since then he's played in a variety of lineups and big bands covering a broad spectrum of music.

From his humble days as a session musician, Keith has now mastered his craft and added to his repertoire singing a variety of hits from the Rat Pack days. If you haven't yet managed to see one of Keith's shows, I would recommend seeing his performance. Capturing both the character and range of his heroes, but remaining unique in his own style, you will leave feeling you have been touched by the music of these great artists and experience true entertainment in the process.
