KEN COLYER JAZZMEN - Goin' Home - A Ken Colyer original.
My first ever LP - having just bought a Regentone Handigram, in Waddingtons, York (they also sold pianos!) I bought an LP in the same shop to play on it. I didn't know what Jazz was then. A lucky choice I guess.
First track on the 'New Orleans to London' LP.
Ken Colyer's Jazzmen - Ken Colyer (Tpt.) Monty Sunshine (Clt.) Chris Barber (Tbn.) Tony Donnegan (Banjo) Jim Bray (Bass) Ron Bowden (Dms.) Decca LF1152. July 1954.

  • I'd like to know who wrote this touching tune and lyrics!

  • Ken's club was the 51 Club at 51 Newport Street. . The decor was non existent unless you count dim and dingy. But...oh the music!. Ken's brother Bill would often play skiffle between sets .Setimes the Dave Reynolds band (Who were a Ken tribute band and formed part of Ken's Omega Marching band ) would play.I was in new Orleans a few years ago and went to see the Preservastion Hall Band play . It was astounding to realise that the 51 Club was formed much early than Preservation Hall.

  • Great playing but I wished it would not go through the pictures so fast. It's a pitty.

  • Gorgeously nostalgic song!!

  • THanks 

  • One of My first LPs also.

    They used to play beneath a Catholic Church somewhere in W.1 area after HUMPH took over at 100 Oxford Street. Who still remembers this basement church club ?? Thanks for posting!

  • Great washboard. This was my favourite version until I heard The Lonnigans Skiffle Group's version from their album "Beryls Blues". Skiffle lives on! GREAT music!
