Our Take

The Ken Colyer Jazzmen's "The Classic Years Vol 3" is like a delightful blast from the past, transporting listeners to a time when jazz was king and swing ruled the airwaves. This album is a perfect encapsulation of the band's signature sound - upbeat, infectious, and full of toe-tapping goodness.

From the opening notes of "High Society" to the closing chords of "Isle of Capri," the Ken Colyer Jazzmen demonstrate their virtuosity and passion for traditional jazz. Each track is a masterclass in musicality, with tight arrangements and expert improvisation that will leave you breathless.

But what truly sets this album apart is Colyer's distinctive trumpet playing. His soulful, melodic lines soar above the rest of the band, commanding attention and drawing listeners in with their emotive power. It's no wonder that Colyer was considered one of the greatest trumpet players of his generation.

Overall, "The Classic Years Vol 3" is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast, whether you're a seasoned aficionado or a newcomer to the genre. It's a joyful, uplifting experience that will leave you wanting more. So grab a glass of your favourite tipple, sit back, and let the Ken Colyer Jazzmen take you on a musical journey back in time. You won't be disappointed.
