Acker Bilk -- or Mr. Acker Bilk, as he was billed -- has won immortality on rock
oldies radio for his surprise 1962 hit Stranger on the Shore, an evocative
ballad featuring his heavily quavering low-register clarinet over a bank of
strings. To the jazz world, though, he has a longer-running track record as one
of the biggest stars of Britains trad jazz boom, playing in a distinctive early
New Orleans manner. After learning his instrument in the British Army, Bilk
joined Ken Colyers trad band in 1954 before stepping out on his own in 1956. By
1960, a record of his, Summer Set -- a pun on the name of his home county --
landed on the British pop charts, and Bilk was on his way, clad in the Edwardian
clothing and bowler hats that his publicist told his Paramount Jazz Band to
wear. Several other British hits followed, but none bigger than Stranger, which
Bilk wrote for his daughter Jenny. The single stayed 55 weeks on the British
charts and crossed the sea to America, where it hit number one in an era when
radio was open to oddball records of all idioms (Bilk gratefully called Stranger
my old-age pension). Released on English Columbia in Britain, several Bilk
albums came out in America on the Atco label, and he continued to have hits
until the British rock invasion of 1964 made trad seem quaint. With that, Bilk
moved into cabaret and continued to have some success in Europe, leading jazz
bands, recording with lush string ensembles, and even scoring another hit, Aria
(number five in Britain), in 1976. Continuing to perform through the 2000s, Bilk
slackened his pace so that he could pursue, like Miles Davis, a hobby of
painting. ~ Richard S. Ginell
