Ken Colyer 1972 - High Society

[@ShevillMathers]

Fantastic era to grow up in, loved all the trad jazz greats from those years-literally this is music to my ears at 85 years old.

[@christopherstead4466]

The young should be made to listen to Jazz masters. What a legacy!!

Born in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk! A legend in N'Awlins, Lousianna. USA. Blow that horn bonny boy!!

[@MrGeoffreoso]

Fond memories in my student days at El Pi Island and his London Jazz Club.😊

[@ronaldstrange8981]

Marvellous that Ken's music is still available and enjoyed. Grew up with Barber, Ball and Colyer. My memories are so clear still, but every time I listen, I discover new little bits and pieces. Thank you so much. Recommend you listen to Ken's wonderful version of "Postman's Lament" which will (hopefully) increase your appreciation of the wonderful musician, Kind regards,

Great traditional Jazz by Ken Colyer, and thanks for sharing.

A long time ago I was having a drink with Jack Gilbert. The phone rang - get to the George, Morden, Ken needs a clarinet and banjo. We had to get a taxi (from Surbiton) as we were both pissed as farts. We got there and did the gig. My memory was Winter Wonderland - Ken I don’t know it. Now’s your fucking chance to learn it! I also remember Tony Scriven’s drumming - the best in the world!!!

Nice to hear from you. Jim! Hope you are fine, at least like I am! Lutz Jordan from Hamburg

Tony Scriven is my dad. Proud son!

[@Teddyb1939]

Beautiful sound,real swinging along. Trad at it's best.

[@brianhewkin5465]

Ken as always true to the New Oleans masters

[@grahamash4707]

Ken Colyer was one of the high standard band leaders that formed the basis of "Trad Jazz" as we got to know it. Weren't we blessed living during that time!

Many thanks for this upload ! Jo Luttringer, close friend of the late Pat Halcox, Chris Barber and Steve Lane... Jo Luttringer, France

[@johnhills6222]

Yes I agree entirely with popeyepaul1. I wasn't there at the George in Morden for these series of gigs but the CD from which this is taken is definitely one of Ken's best. The late (and much lamented) Jack Gilbert was one of the best clarinettists Ken ever engaged .....and he engaged many (Sunshine, Bilk, Wheeler, Rimington and a number of others I cannot bring to mind). Magic NOLA jazz from start to finish!

[@geroldreiniger2466]

Ken is one of european best conoisers of authentic NO-Jazz

[@mariannehook8199]

ken colyer & handpicked jazzmen in real High Society !!

[@petekernow1]

Colyer as good as ever, and also Jumping Jack Gilbert on clarinet. He played mainly in Max Collie's band - possibly later than this recording. Likewise, Gentleman Jim Mackintosh - a lovely lilting player. If I've got my dates right, 1972 Ken had given up his regular touring band for health reasons.

[@STEAMBOATSTOMPERS]

...and Mike Sherbourne on trombone is outstanding.

Det er den beste and fineste JAZZ.fANTASTISK

[@wernerpospiech2764]

Einer der besten Trompeter!

[@margritammeter8963]

Ohne ken kolyers tatkräftige mitwirkung hätten wir all die fantastischen aufnahmen der chris barber und der george lewis heute nicht...danke ken!

[@petercoles6757]

The trombonist in the pictures from 1.56 to 2.35 is my uncle Peter.

[@popeyepaul1]

Just before the George at Morden closed for jazz. Ken tried for a few weeks to revive it with his hand picked jazzmen but sadly it had to close... some of the best jazz I have heard in those few weeks but sadly hardly anyone there.

[@LINAYBANEZ]

BLACK MAGIC JAZZ & Ken got it under his skin and took the White man's version to a new height

[@kevinbowes1738]
