About Ken Colyer

Ken was the pioneer of British exploration of the New Orleans jazz idiom and has a great following even though he has gone to the gloryland. Ken Colyer ( 1928 - 1988) was a British traditional jazz revivalist and skiffle scenester who specialized in the New Orleans jazz and ragtime stylings. He first interfaced with New Orleans players when a young man in the UK's Merchant Navy and fater long jaunts at sea, began looking up familiar names in a New Orleans telephone directory found in the Westminster Public Library.
