Respected broadcaster and trombonist in the band,Mike Pointon has said:
By 1986,when this session took pIace,Ken was no longer leading a reguIar band and was suffering from ill-heaIth,but his subtIy dynamic performance reveals him to still be on authoritative form.He'd recently been re-united with Ray FoxIey after Ray had left the Jazzmen in 1960 and by this time Ken and Colin Bowden worked together again after CoIin had been recruited for the re-born Crane River Jazz Band.Both had been in Ken's classic Iate 50s line-up.John Griffith (to become a key producer for Upbeat) was a pupil of John Bastable,Ken's fine tenor banjoist,and Alyn Shipton,now a distinguished broadcaster and author/editor of jazz books,still is an accomplished bassist.George Berry had worked with Griffith in Kid Chapman's Olympia Band in the 60s.l was pleased to be an occasionaI member of Ken's Iine-up at the time after depping with the Jazzmen 25 years earlier.
This monochrome DVD is compiIed from rare footage of one of the few occasions Ken CoIyer was fiImed over the years.It was shot as an amateur video and therefore the sound and lighting quaIity are not of professionaI standard.But despite the graininess and variabIe focus in cinema verité style,its intrinsic historicaI significance documenting one of Europe's most revered and influentiaI jazz figures makes it vaIuabIe for aIl those who appreciate Colyer's important contribution to the music he loved.
