Pip pip, cheerio! The Ken Colyer Allstars have swooped in once again with their latest offering, "The Sunny Side of Ken Colyer." This jaunty album is a delightful romp through the sunny streets of New Orleans, with a British twist that's as refreshing as a pint of stout on a hot summer's day.

From the opening track "Big Chief Battle Axe," you can't help but feel yourself transported to a jubilant Mardi Gras parade, complete with jazzed-up brass and toe-tapping rhythms. Colyer's distinctive trumpet playing shines throughout, adding a touch of British whimsy to the traditional New Orleans sound.

The Allstars truly hit their stride on tracks like "Creole Song" and "Bourbon Street Parade," where they effortlessly blend traditional jazz elements with their own unique flair. It's impossible not to feel a smile creep across your face as you listen to these infectious tunes.
