Ken Smith
b, cb,
Jazz and Blues
This London born Ken, grew up with a love of rock ‘n’ roll music from Elvis Presley to Bill Haley and it was through frequenting the London nightclubs of the early eighties that played this music that he met the other founding members of the Jive Aces. Ken was known on this scene as a sharp dresser and one of the best swing dancers in London and was crowned London Swing Dance Champion three years running from 1983 to 1986. He is one of the few left-handed bass players around and prefers to use gut strings to metal. He is known for spinning the bass, throwing it above his head and even climbing on it while playing, much to the amazement of the audience.
