KEN COLYER Lead me on

[13421JLUJ]

Now, this.. is music ! Real music ! Thanks ! : )

Characteristic music by the Guvnor. He could pull any group of musicians together and make them an integrated whole. Don't ask me how but it was wonderful to hear. My first Colyer gig was 1956.................

[TorbenGalster]

What a piano player. He is fantastic.

Without Colyer there would have been noTraditional/New Orleans Jazz scene in the UK and probably Europe. He inspired many of the greats of the time and later years In fact , many played in his band for a time. - He wasn't an easy guy to be with apparently BUT enormously talented and committed to the music.

I first heard one of his records in 1956 and was hooked from then on. sadly I missed seeing him at the Sportsmans Guild in manchester but did see him many years later at the Bowdon Rooms.

Rubbish, indeed very far from Lewis and the other masters from the source. You need to cleanse your ears. Cheers!

[46professor]

Correct title's: "Precious Lord Lead Me On" and allow me to say that I find the clarinet: booring.

[pratwurst]

Rubbish - lovely in the style of George Lewis!

[BoogieDownBiggee30]

I never knew jazz was such amazing music...

[knulla08]

Pretty bad English New Orleans-style.

Sensationell! Colyer always had that wonderful compact sound in his band!!

[FootharryKO]

Wonderful, thank you! I'm thankfull because i had the great pleasure to met Mr. Cloyer in 1984.

Somebody goes into The 100 Club with a video camera and tapes only this number? PLEASE tell me there is more of this great session.

This is wonderful, great to see Ken in such great form. Don't think that's Malc Murphy

Thank you for your posting this .However, is it possible that Malc Murphy is on Drums ?

It's Pete Lay playing drums.
