A fine swing pianist,
Keith Ingham's '90s and 2000s recordings of '30s vintage songs for the Jump label are quite enjoyable. He started playing professionally in 1964, and worked with
Sandy Brown,
Bruce Turner, and
Wally Fawkes (among others) in England during the next decade. In 1974,
Ingham recorded with
Bob Wilber and
Bud Freeman, and in 1978 he settled in New York. He had the opportunity to play with
Benny Goodman and
the World's Greatest Jazz Band, and became the musical director and pianist for
Susannah McCorkle.
Keith Ingham also recorded three albums with
Maxine Sullivan, worked with
Marty Grosz and
Harry Allen, toured with
the Eddie Condon Memorial Band, and has led sessions for Sackville and Stomp Off, in addition to Jump. ~ Scott Yanow
