EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this iconic print by Victor Crawshaw, we witness the bittersweet moment when Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen bid farewell to London, embarking on a journey towards their long-awaited destination: New York. It was the 10th of May 1965, a significant day that marked both hope and frustration for these talented musicians. Eager to share their unique brand of jazz with American audiences, Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen had encountered obstacles along the way. Initially denied admission due to an unjust perception that their group lacked uniqueness, they persevered through countless setbacks. Finally, after enduring a lengthy wait for work permits, this photograph captures the triumphant departure as they board an airplane bound for New York City. The image exudes an air of anticipation and determination; it encapsulates the spirit of these musicians who were ready to conquer new horizons. Their passion for music radiates from each instrument clutched tightly in their hands as they prepare to embark on a transatlantic adventure. This snapshot not only immortalizes a pivotal moment in Kenny Ball's career but also serves as a testament to the indomitable human spirit. It reminds us that dreams can be realized despite adversity if one possesses unwavering dedication and talent. Victor Crawshaw's evocative print transports us back to an era where jazz reigned supreme – capturing not just a physical journey but also symbolizing artistic resilience and unyielding pursuit of one's passion.
