Ken Colyer

In this section there is a brief re-telling of Ken’s life story. There is also a gallery of photographs of Ken and ephemera such as tickets and programmes that evoke the period Ken was active in.

The Ken Colyer Trust exists to promote and encourage New Orleans Jazz through the music of Ken Colyer.

Visit the Sales Table, the largest stockist of Ken Colyer's recordings in the world, where you can order CDs. You'll also be able to see the programme of events organised by the Trust.

An introduction to New Orleans Jazz by Hugh Crozier puts Ken in the context of the music he loved. This section also has a series of links to other relevant sites, such as Jazz Guide and the 100 club
