Ken Colyer
The BBC Jazz Club

Ken Colyer Home Page

This disc features three bands that all developed from the principles laid down by Ken Colyer. Upon his return from New Orleans the first "Jazzmen" were formed. These were recorded by BBC World Service for a French radio show called "At the Jazz Band Ball" and includes the band's arrangement of the theme from "Moulin Rouge" a hit in its day. The line-up evolved into the Chris Barber Band and Ken formed another band with Acker Bilk who leads his own band on the second selection from 1960. Bob Wallis played with Ken in the Omega Brass Band and here drives us out on the last four tracks with his Storyville Jazz Men. - John Griffith
