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.
