Our Take

Ah, the sound of jazz echoing through the cobblestone streets of merry ol' England! Ken Colyers Jazzmen & Skiffle in British English is a delightful whirlwind of musical chaos, blending traditional jazz vibes with a whimsical skiffle twist.

From the moment the horns blare and the strings strum, you can't help but tap your feet and bob your head in total bliss. Ken Colyer, the man, the myth, the jazz legend, leads his ensemble with the finesse of a seasoned maestro, effortlessly guiding his band through a series of upbeat melodies and infectious rhythms.

The album is a rollercoaster of emotions, from the toe-tapping joy of "Down By the Riverside" to the melancholic beauty of "Good Time Swing." Each track is a testament to Colyer's immense talent and passion for his craft, as he effortlessly weaves together a tapestry of sound that is both familiar and refreshing.

In true British fashion, there's a certain charm to Colyer's music that is undeniable. It's like sipping a cup of tea on a cloudy day - comforting, warm, and oh so satisfying. So gather ‘round, dear readers, and let Ken Colyer's Jazzmen & Skiffle in British English transport you to a bygone era of jazz clubs and smokey pubs. It's a musical journey you won't soon forget. Cheers to that, old chaps!

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.
