Our Take

Hailing from the vibrant streets of New Orleans, Ken Colyer brings his unique brand of Dixieland jazz to the Boston Church Service album. With a trumpet in one hand and a trombone in the other, Colyer effortlessly blends traditional jazz melodies with gospel-inspired harmonies in this toe-tapping collection.

From the lively opener, "Just a Closer Walk with Thee," to the soulful closer, "When the Saints Go Marching In," Colyer's passion for music shines through in every note. His ragtime rhythms and infectious energy are sure to have you tapping your feet and clapping your hands in no time.

The album's standout track, "Down by the Riverside," is a rollicking good time that will transport you straight to a Southern juke joint. Colyer's playful improvisations and smooth vocals make this tune a true delight to listen to.

However, not every track on Boston Church Service hits the mark. Some of the slower, more contemplative numbers can feel a bit plodding and lack the same spark as the more upbeat tracks. It's clear that Colyer shines brightest when he's in his element, lighting up the room with his infectious enthusiasm.

Overall, Ken Colyer's Boston Church Service is a joyful romp through the world of Dixieland jazz. It may not be groundbreaking or avant-garde, but it is undeniably fun and full of heart. So grab a glass of sweet tea, find a sunny spot to sit back and relax, and let the sounds of Ken Colyer wash over you. Jazz hands optional.

About the artist

Ken Colyer

KEN COLYER: The Forgotten Jazz Legend Hailing from the bustling streets of New Orleans, Ken Colyer is a name that may not ring a bell for the average music listener. But for those in the know, Colyer is a jazz pioneer who has left an indelible mark on the music industry. Starting his career in the 1940s, Colyer quickly made a name for himself with his infectious trumpet playing and unconventional approach to jazz. His music is a delightful blend of traditional New Orleans jazz with a touch of British eccentricity, making him a truly unique artist in the jazz world. Despite his undeniable talent, Colyer never quite reached the heights of fame that his contemporaries did. But perhaps that's what makes him so special - his music remains a hidden gem, waiting to be discovered by those with a keen ear for something different. In a world obsessed with fame and fortune, Colyer's music serves as a reminder that sometimes, the best artists are the ones who fly under the radar. So do yourself a favor and give Ken Colyer a listen - you won't be disappointed.
