[@mickymondo7463]

My father on Bass a year before I was born, he's 82 now and not in great health anymore, a nice find to hear him in his heyday with Ken

[@rharland1066]

Fond memories of the jazz all-nighters at the Ken Colyer Jazz Club in Great Newport Street in London. Happy days!

[@chriscartwright4999]

[@neilhenderson3890]

ken ranks among the greatest of new orleans jazz players ;i saw him many times and danced to his wonderful music;

[@19whitby12]

Met the "Guvnor" in the toilet at one of his gigs in the 1970s, possibly at Bearstead in Kent, and asked him to play "Postman's Lament" as the Postmen were on strike at that time. I was very pleased, when, after the Interval, Ken played my request. Ken Cook

[@lucianoinvernizzi5027]

I Luciano invernizzi, took to london just to listen to him and had. The pleasure to know him, by the way am trombone player and got a target for what I have done ❤ciao

[@dennisjohnson4460]

KEN COLYER WHAT A SOUND YOU CAN PICK OUT THAT SWEET TRUMPET ANYWHERE AND THE TIN CUP MUTES HE WAS A ONE OFF. I SAW HIM MANY TIMES I LOVED THIS GUY THANKS KEN R I P BROTHER DEN JOHNSON

[@joanbillingham1505]

Thanks

[@ricardo12744]

Me too, in my home area of Bristol I always remember his use of ‘derby hats’ which always sends shivers up and down my spine! Maybe we are thinking of the same muting system?

[@MrSirNobby]

Ken Colyer was one of the best, saw him many times in London at the jazz clubs

[@donaldfransson2827]

Music I love. Aniando Sweden.

[@hatschepsutglimmer4515]

Ohne ken colyer gäbe ed keine genisle chris barbet jatzband

[@25marlowclose]

Fantastic !!!

[@briankatejohnstone1884]

Just a quick note; I've jammed or played with a couple of this personnel and consider Geoff Cole the most underrated and best British Trombonist in the New Orleans style, with Big Bill Bissonette, better than Barber (With no disrespect for Chris, who brought the music to the UK masses and is still doing it as far as I know -probably keeping him alive!). Cole is a good example of the genre without plagiarizing the "Fathas" such as Big Jim Robinson (who I sat in with at Preservation Hall in September 1972 as part of the Billie and Dee-dee Pierce band).

[@RomanAdar]

+Brian Kate Johnstone Thanks for your insight I've been a traditional Jazz fan since I can remember.

[@briankatejohnstone1884]

+Roman Adar Great; I dunno how anybody CAN'T be a N.O. Jazz lover!

[@graceatkinson207]

Saw him at Hackney pub some time ago, he knew my father, Neil Millett. Is he still around?

[@GeoffCole-k3i]

@@graceatkinson207 Geoff and Neil were band mates in the Georgia Jazz Band circa 1973. I think they also shared digs at 12 Sycamore Grove, New Malden for a period of time.

[@peterdunkler7756]

Ich war dabei

[@worldartsdocmiller]

Fantastic and authentic New Orleans jazz which is almost a lost art even in New Orleans.

[@johnbennett6637]

You need to look up Tuba Skinny amongst others.

[@hans-peterp.839]

I Never heard netter music!

[@Elhombredelmar]

Thank you. It would be nice to know the rest of the personnel. Great music for listening even though its all a semitone sharp. (eg 'Gloryland' is usually played in Ab not as in this case in concert A) So, I'll just put my trombone and enjoy.

[@mrjimmienoone2130]

Just pull your tuning slide and play it in b-flat.

[@GeoffCole-k3i]

Would you like one of Geoff Cole's old trombones ?

[@armchairquarterback4529]

did Ken Colyers Band still played the skiffle washboard in 1966 and did Lonnie Donegan and his Skiffle group ever played with Ken Colyer?

[@mickymondo7463]

Sadly Bill Cole the Bassist on this recording died suddenly on 25.05.23, He played Bass with Colyer for five years during the sixties, then working with Kid Thomas and Kid Sheik, and many more throughout his career.

[@GeoffCole-k3i]

I remember 'little Bill' Cole from my childhood.

[@mickymondo7463]

Once seen seldom forgotten, he was a force of nature mum was a couple of months pregnant with me when he was over in Hamburg with Ken on this one.

[@george12652]

The drummer is Bryan Hetherington.

[@Elhombredelmar]

Cancel previous comment about personnel. I've just found it.

[@jimmcintosh4646]

If there were young band doing this today forget the trad boom, there would be an atomic boom!

[@johnbennett6637]

Look up Tuba Skinny

[@TheSpikehere]

The Guv'nor mentioned both "Climax Rag" and "Love Song of the Nile" in his autobiography, I'd like to think that he would approve of the way Marla Dixon does both of those.

[@ricardo12744]

Have a listen to Scuba Skinney….they are a brilliant young band of traditional jazz

[@christopherstead4466]

Wonderful but how sad the young have missed this and listen to rubbish

[@TheSpikehere]

Thankfully there are a lot young kids keeping this music alive, in NOLA , across the US, and on this side of the pond.

[@johnbennett6637]

Look up Tuba Skinny.
