Ken Colyer remains revered today by devotees of pure New Orleans Jazz, who respect his un-compromising mission to preserve the sanctity of the music, and his many fans still refer to him as ‘The Guvnor’. In the 1950s he was at the forefront of the revival of New Orleans Jazz, and along the way, the development of Skiffle, Blues, and Rock ‘n’ Roll in Britain.CD 1: Christie Brothers Stompers - Black Cat On A Fence/ Christie Brothers Stompers Hiawatha Rag / Christie Brothers Stompers - Bogalusa Moan / Ken Colyer's Jazzmen - Gentofte Blues / Ken Colyer's Jazzmen - Goin' Home / Ken Colyer's Jazzmen - The Isle Of Capri / Ken Colyer's Jazzmen - Harlem Rag / Ken Colyer's Jazzmen - La Harpe Street Blues / Ken Colyer's Jazzmen - Stockyard Strut / Ken Colyer's Jazzmen - Cataract Rag / Ken Colyer's Jazzmen - Early Hours / Ken Colyer's Jazzmen - Too Busy / Ken Colyer's Skiffle Group - Down By The Riverside / Ken Colyer's Jazzmen - Blue Blood Blues / Ken Colyer's Skiffle Group - Take This Hammer / Ken Colyer's Jazzmen - Sing On / Ken Colyer's Skiffle Group - Streamline Train / Ken Colyer's Jazzmen - Lord, Lord, Lord / Ken Colyer's Jazzmen - Far Away Blues / Ken Colyer's Skiffle Group - Old Riley.
